From the Publisher:
The Natural Resources Defense Council is a nonprofit environmental membership organization with 400,000 members nationwide. Since 1970, NRDC's lawyers, scientists, and staff have been working to protect the world's natural resources and to improve the quality of the human environment.
From the Back Cover:
Is pursuit of the American dream becoming a nightmare? Once There Were Greenfields presents the story of one of America's most challenging social problems, sprawl development. Community downtowns are being replaced with strip malls. Farmland is giving way to parking lots. Meanwhile, inner cities are losing jobs and the tax base necessary to support public schools. This book meticulously documents the consequences of sprawling growth patterns and proposes guiding principles for a new kind of "smart" growth that combines economic progress with environmental protection and social goals.
