Postwar Changes in Land Use in the American City
The trends in the metropolitan development of the United States since World War II, with the decay of central cities and urban sprawl, i.e. the extensive low density development of suburban America, have been subject to considerable attention both here and abroad. This pattern of central city decline and suburban growth is the result of three intimately related forces: rapid dispersal of employment from dense central cities; entensive metropolitan growth associated with low density residential development; and the accelerated growth of 'massive' black ghettos in the nation's largest metropolitan areas. The objective of this paper is to analyze these three factors.
