Cleveland and Sprawl: a Global Perspecitve

Cleveland and Sprawl: A Global Perspective
Thursday, September 27, 2007; 4:30 p.m.
Free Public Lecture
Thwin Center (Ballroom), 11111 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland

Part of the "Cityscapes" Lecture Series today's guest speaker is Robert Breugmann, author of Sprawl: A Compact History. The subject of sprawl hits particularly hard in Cleveland with the constant revitilization of our inner core a topic of constinuous debate. I have read some of the shorts on Breugmann's book (and admit to actually not having read the entire thing...yet) and am interested to see if the argument that anti-sprawl debate is in fact elitist either arises or can withstand comparison to Cleveland's history, or if when compared to Cleveland's operations sprawl is actually vindicated.

I am eager to see how tonight turns out.
