Population
Pattern

Decentralization
of population has created sprawl patterns of
|
|
|
land
use, which greatly increase the costs associated with
|
|
|
population
growth.

Ohio’s
population increased by less than 2% between 1970-90;
|
|
|
the
amount of urban land increased by almost 10%. Columbus’
|
|
|
population
grew by 68% between 1950-1990; its land area
|
|
|
increased
by 390%.

|
The
question is not how to stop population growth, but
|
|
|
how
to minimize the negative impacts of this growth.
