This book is dedicated to the memory of Mike Breheny, who died suddenly at a very early age in February 2003. Mike wrote the first substantive chapter of this book, and was the life and soul of the party at our conference in Missillac, Brittany, France, in July 2002, where most of these chapters originated. We had known him for only about four years in person (meeting him in Monterey [California], London, Tokyo and Brittany), although we had been admiring his research for almost two decades. He was a charming gentleman of Irish ancestry with a twinkle in his eyes and a wonderful sense of humor (ranging from the intellectual to the bawdy). We had wanted him to stay in Brittany for a few extra days, but he had to run back to London for the cricket Test match between England and India (what kind of Irishman likes cricket? However, he did support the London Irish rugby team.). We miss him badly.

We wish to thank the Borchard Foundation and its Executive Director, Bill Beling, for their support. This enabled us to organize a very successful conference (Bill prefers the term colloquium), meet old friends and make new ones (especially our French colleagues), and (not least) our last chance to spend some time with Mike.

Chapter 1
Introduction

Chang-Hee Christine Bae and Harry W. Richardson

The urban sprawl issue has received a massive amount of academic research attention in the United States in recent years. It has become the dominant planning issue. The unique feature of this book is that it pays recognition the diffusion of this issue to Western Europe, especially France and the United Kingdom. At first sight, this is surprising. The United States is known for its settlement patterns that emphasize low-density suburban development and extreme automobile development whereas European countries are believed to emphasize higher densities (although low by Asian standards), pro-transit policies and an emphasis on more compact urban development.
