This lecture delves into the historical evolution of urban sprawl, analyzing the impact of large-scale real estate development on city structures. It explores the challenges posed by low-density, car-dependent constructions on the outskirts of cities, emphasizing the need for sustainable urban planning. The discussion covers the rise of sprawl, the social implications of suburban expansion, and the potential solutions to mitigate its negative effects. By examining case studies and architectural projects, the lecture provides insights into the complex relationship between urbanization, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability.
