A View On Regionally Conditioned Sprawling Developments Set Against the Theoretical Model

Daniel L. ȘERBAN ȘERBAN

Abstract

Following on the footsteps of the term sprawl through the efforts of deliniation and clarifiying
undertaken in literature, while also looking at some of the various regional evidences of disperse urban
growth across Europe, the article underlines the often regionally specific outcomes of this model of
land development. These correlate with more than just the globally present set of conditions associated
with sprawling developments, and in fact in spite of significant differences in the selection of these
conditions, similar outcomes point to the importance of other regional peculiarities.
