Current Issues Towards
Transportation Urban Sprawl refers to expansion of a
metropolitan area, with largelyuncontrolled new land use ofpreviously less developed areassurrounding a more urban core. Theterm is typically used to describesuburbs, largely residential and oftenbuilt in tracts by commercial

Negative Effects of
Sprawling
Social Impacts Concerns over urban sprawl and its
consequences are not new, and this
phenomenon as been subject toconsiderable scrutiny by academics, socialcritics, and public policy makers since theshift of people and economic activities
beyond city cores intensified after1945.Opinion appears to be divided overthe social and economic impacts of sprawl,for the evidence indicates that both
social /economic benefits and costs accrueC1

Environmental Impacts
Sprawls impacts upon ecosystemsand other environmental resourcesare considerable. Sprawl and
associated activities degradeenvironmental resources such assurface water and groundwater, airquality, and landscape aesthetics,and destroys wildlife habitats.

Environmental Impacts
It restricts or eliminates access tonatural resources/raw materials suchas timber, fuel minerals, and non-fuel
minerals including sand, gravel, andlimestone the materials from whichcities are constructed, and results inthe lost of prime agricultural landswithin and nearby metropolitanareas.

Direct Transportation
Service Problems Congestion: 11 mph speed in thecities, resulting in longer travel time,delays, fuel waste, pollutions, stress
(mental & physical) etc.
Inadequate capacity: greater demandvs. supply.
High user cost: Rise in fuel prices,cost of vehicles, spare parts, rise infares, insurance, user fees e.g..Parkin , traffic fines, tolls,etc.C1

High facility costs and low return:Airports construction, bridges,drainage, tunnels etc.
Lack of safety to users: trafficaccidents in cars and terminals, theproblems for the handicapped, thepoor and the young.
