SG-W:/ urban sprawl and wise land use management

[bruce_manny@usgs.gov]

I learned a great deal about sprawl and how to deal effectively with it
from the web site
http://www.ijc.org/milwaukee/transcript/99_12d_municipal.html
described in the message below.  We have a long way to go in this county to
curb sprawl.
