摘要
Amid concerns of how US cities "sprawl", it is useful to look at the cities of other developed nations, in particular Western Europe which has attained US-type prosperity, but which is reputed to have cities Americans should look to as a model. We examine recent data which suggest that there are substantial development and transportation similarities between the two groups and that the cities of Western Europe are becoming more like those of the United States.
