Released in March 2003, this paper from the Center on Urban and Metropolitan Policy at the Brookings Institute deals with the persistent phenomenon of office sprawl throughout much of South Florida. Authored by Robert E. Lang, the 12-page report demonstrates that the majority of office employment in the area is located in "Edgeless Cities," a form of small-scale and scattered development that never reaches any type of critical mass. Lang suggests that this type of development, which has increased significantly since the 1970s, "can exacerbate a region's jobs/ housing mismatch, or widen the distance between economic opportunity and concentrations of minority households." After a brief introduction to the existing situation, Lang continues to discuss this emerging pattern, along with offering a section explaining his methodology, general findings, and most importantly, some broad policy recommendations.
