University of Utah geographer: Sprawl impeding intergenerational mobility for low-income residents.

People who grew up in high-sprawl neighborhoods have less earning potential than those who grew in denser neighborhoods.

At the city level, sprawl has been linked to lower social cohesion and increased racial and income segregation.

"We probably can't turn Atlanta into New York City , but we could shape neighborhoods to be built for everyone," Carlston says.

"We could try to reduce the negative effects of sprawl by increasing connectivity with better transit and finding mechanisms to spread funding throughout metropolitan areas," he says.
