ArchitectureWeek Description
By combining informed but breezy text and 75 aerial photographs by Jim Wark, the author explains how the American landscape has been changed and devastated by 20th century excesses., from the "alligator" (an investment that "eats" cash flow, represented here by the vast and ghostly grid of an unbuilt New Mexico suburb) to the "zoomburb" (a suburb on steroids, illustrated here by Arizona's spiraling Sun City). She also explains the powerful political and financial forces that sustain sprawl.
