However, despite its widespread acceptance, this concept has rarely been rigorously examined at a quantitative level. Studies often rely on outdated data, such as Newman \u0026amp; Kenworthy's 1989 study, which lacks consideration of contemporary quality of life factors. In Chicago, a city emblematic of both tall urban structures and sprawling suburbs, this research delves into the sustainability of urban density versus suburban sprawl. Through quantitative analysis and case studies, it seeks to fill crucial gaps in understanding the environmental and social implications of these contrasting lifestyles, offering valuable insights for urban planners and policymakers worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrincipal Authors: Peng Du \u0026amp; Antony Wood\u003cbr\u003eEditorial Support: Jared Davis \u0026amp; Daniel Safarik\u003cbr\u003eLayout: Jared Davis \u0026amp; Kristen Dobbins\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat\u003cbr\u003eYear: 2017\u003cbr\u003eType: Soft cover\u003cbr\u003ePages: 152\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 8.5\"W x 11\"H\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-0-939493-50-0\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47848427356311,"sku":"DHRSLRL","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/7229\/5575\/files\/222.jpg?v=1779914377","url":"https:\/\/shop.cvu.org\/products\/downtown-high-rise-vs-suburban-low-rise-living","provider":"Council on Vertical Urbanism","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
