Fat City

Questioning the relationship between urban sprawl and obesity
Book • 2006
This research paper uses longitudinal data to investigate the relationship between urban sprawl and obesity.

The authors conclude that previous findings suggesting a positive relationship between urban sprawl and obesity are likely due to a failure to control for the fact that individuals who are more likely to be obese tend to choose more sprawling neighborhoods.

The study indicates that current efforts to change the built environment to counter the rise in obesity may be misguided.
