Geography to no where book review

Book review the Geography to no where.

Perhaps the greatest book ever to take an in depth look at how suckie the suburban landscape is this book is celebrating it's twentieth anniversary and today I review it. it has been about ten ears since I read this entertaining book by Kuntsler and all I can say is that it opened my eyes to how bad malls and big box stores are and how the few remaining spots of walkable old-style communities needs to be preserved for future generations. Today's developers in a quick way to save money created a Kuntsler points out in this book that suburbia developed because of the easy and cheap fossil fuel era and now that it is no longer as cheap and easy to extract we will see how far these sprawl areas in America can last. What horrifies me about much of suburbia is how quickly they were to tear down nice buildings to make way for more lanes and bigger cookie cutter retail developments and nothing they have done has alleviated traffic or make the suburbs look like the country living it was sold to the public.

infrastructure and environment so ugly it deserves to be only seen traveling at highway speeds. Most of what they create is actually asphalt for people to park their big cars and move their obese bodies towards the store. There is hope as trends of moving back to the city are developing and people are realizing the importance of walkable communities and the property values that go with it. As James Howard often points is that suburbia was built in the era of cheap fossil fuels and now that oil is no longer cheap or easy to extract these sprawl areas of America will fizzle out and cities will reclaim their place in the United States.
