| Sumario: | Decades of economic prosperity in the United States have redefined the American dream. Paul Knox explores how extreme versions of this dream have changed the American landscape. Increased wealth has led America?s metropolitan areas to develop into vast sprawling regions of ?metroburbia??fragmented mixtures of employment and residential settings, combining urban and suburban characteristics.

He covers changes. |
