While we're on the topic of cities, I should mention Ed Glaeser, who is the new superstar economist from Harvard and who has been referred to on this blog previously. I haven't read his new book, and I probably won't, since he's preaching to the choir, but I applaud him for drawing attention to the importance of cities.
I am reading a book by a fellow named Thad Williamson right now called Sprawl, Justice & Citizenship which ambitiously charts a way towards analyzing the comprehensive effects of sprawl from an ethical point of view. It is a well researched book. I tend to agree with his definition of sprawl as low density, automobile oriented communities.
