| Definition / notes: | The concept of urban sprawl in English stresses extension only (sprawl), whereas Spanish emphasizes the fact things get dirty when the sprawl takes place. Los Angeles, CA (my hometown) and Mexico City (my adopted city) are examples of both the sprawl and how things got dirty in the urbanization process. Webster's dictionary defines URBAN SPRAWL as: the uncontrolled spread of urban development into neighboring regions. Municipal seat is found in Javier Becerra's dictionary. |
