In Urban Sprawl and Public Health, Howard Frumkin, Lawrence Frank, and Richard Jackson, three of the nation's leading public health and urban planning experts explore an intriguing question: How does the physical environmin which we live affect our health? For decades, growth and developmin our communities has been of the low-density, automobile-dependtype known as sprawl. The authors examine the direct and indirect impacts of sprawl on human health and well-being, and discuss the prospects for improving public health through alternative approaches to design, land use, and transportation.

Anyone concerned with issues of public health, urban planning, transportation, architecture, or the environmwill want to read Urban Sprawl and Public Health.
