- The doubling of Georgia's population has exacerbated pollution problems and fragmented the landscape through urban sprawl. This housing development in the Atlanta metropolitan area illustrates the loss of greenspace over a wide area.
This aerial photograph shows a housing development in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area which illustrates the loss of greenspace over a wide area. Many of these streets end in cul-de-sacs. Houses sit equidistant from one another. The yards between the houses have no grass growing in them; the ground is bare soil. The doubling of Georgia's population has exacerbated pollution problems and fragmented the landscape through urban sprawl. - Metadata URL:
