Urban Sprawl, Global Warming, and the Empire of Capital

The book explores the connection between the American economy's dependence on urban sprawl and the nation's reluctance to confront global warming. It delves into how sprawling development patterns hinder sustainable practices and contribute to environmental degradation. By analyzing economic, social, and political factors, the author presents a compelling argument that the failure to address climate change is rooted in a broader systemic issue tied to urbanization and growth.
