report p. 1270 - 1271Author Hassenpflug, Dieter |

Villagers have become city dwellers, country idylls have been transformed into high performance landscapes. Cities continue to expand and spread, their spatial boundaries apparently existing only to be overwhelmed by new developments, residential suburbs, industrial parks and their associated traffic requirements.
