Physical Los Angeles

To sprawl or not to sprawl

Satellite view of L.A.This morning on KPCC's "Airtalk," Prof. Robert Bruegmann will explain and probably defend his thesis that "sprawl is not the worst thing that ever happened to the nation's cities. In fact, by many measures, it's been beneficial." In the other chair will be Stefanos Polyzoides, principal at Moule & Polyzoides Architects and Urbanists here and co-founder of Congress for the New Urbanism. With Larry Mantle still on vacation, Judy Muller will guest host. It's tentatively scheduled for 10:30 to 11 am.
