I said I wasn't going to respond above on CVCs because I've made my points, but I just can't let this go. This is most definitely NOT the same thing because Sprawl and growth are NOT synonymous (did you think I thought Duany was anti-growth?). Sprawl is a pattern of growth that is particularly abhorrent. The second half of suburban nation is a prescription for how to grow and NOT sprawl. So no, there is no such thing as "sprawl the right way", and there is no such sentiment in the book which again, in an unequivical indictment of sprawl. Of course there can be good growth - that growth is categorically not sprawl. In fact, I would say that's the underlying thesis of not only Suburban Nation but Duany's entire career.
