Sprawl in Georgia

"Urban Sprawl". The New Georgia Encyclopedia. 28 Oct 2009. http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-763

This website looks at the issues and events in Atlanta,GA. This particular article focuses on Urban Sprawl. It highlights urban sprawls effect on air quality, water quality, and the rate that Atlanta is growing. Like Phoenix, Atlanta has little to no barriers to limit its outward growth, and this article does a great job at listing and explaining all of them. This article also list some ways that environmentalists are trying to deal with these solutions, and put Atlanta back on the right track. I found this article to be well written with excellent combination of information and statistics, and it was very helpful in my research.
