The center for New Urbanism says that "Urban life is associated with a highly human-constructed, mediated environment, involving little interaction with the natural world." Mansfield also fits this description as well. Wheather that is good or bad is up to a persons personal preferance.
Our group focused on the subject of expansion and overpopulation in the town of Mansfield, MA. Urbanization contributes to expansion and as the people in the town increase because of urbanization, the town expands to accomidate the growing population. The downside, of course, is that the town is only so big and eventually will run out of land to expand upon.
