Zoning regulations that promote low-density development, such as single-family zoning, encourage people to live in larger homes on larger lots, which leads to increased sprawl.

Urban sprawl typically leads to a decrease in biodiversity, as natural habitats are converted to developed land.

Urban sprawl contributes to increased air pollution through increased traffic congestion, increased energy consumption, and increased industrial activity.

Urban sprawl contributes to increased water pollution through increased runoff from impervious surfaces, increased sewage discharge, and increased use of fertilizers and pesticides.

Urban sprawl contributes to increased energy consumption through increased reliance on cars, increased use of air conditioning and heating, and increased industrial activity.

Increasing the minimum lot size for new homes would actually promote urban sprawl by encouraging people to live in larger homes on larger lots.

Urban sprawl, suburbanization, and exurbanization all refer to the development of new urban areas on the outskirts of existing cities.

Urban sprawl typically leads to a decrease in quality of life, as it can result in increased traffic congestion, air pollution, and water pollution.

Urban sprawl can lead to increased economic development, increased job opportunities, and increased access to goods and services.

Exurbanization refers to the development of new urban areas that are located far from existing cities.

Reducing the minimum lot size for new homes would actually promote sprawl by encouraging people to live in larger homes on larger lots.

Widening roads would actually increase traffic congestion in the long run, as it would encourage more people to drive.

Increasing the number of parking spaces would actually increase air pollution, as it would encourage more people to drive.

Increasing the amount of impervious surfaces would actually increase water pollution, as it would lead to more runoff and less infiltration.

Increasing the minimum lot size for new homes would actually promote sprawl and unsustainable development.
