Urban sprawl is a concept that describes the spread of human populations from the major cities or urban areas into the low-density rural communities. Several factors are attributed to cause urban sprawl, such as lower land rates in rural areas, improved infrastructure, lack of effective urban planning, rise of population growth in the cities, and consumer preferences among others. Urban sprawl is considered to present significant benefits to individuals. For example, access of cheap land, better school systems in the suburbs, low crime rates and a sense of community. However, urban sprawl is considered undesirable due to factors like increasing the level of public expenditure in the development of infrastructure, increased health problems due to the spread of pollution, environmental degradation, and increased traffic in cities among others. This paper examines the concept of urban sprawl in the developing cities like the City of Edmonton, focusing on the policies that could be implemented to enhance population in the city and minimize the events of urban sprawl.

There are many effects of urban sprawl, both positive and negative; though the negative outweigh the positive in quantity, but not necessarily in importance. Whether or not urban sprawl is a good

Urbanization can be defined as a rapid shift in population of a group living in a specific area. This typically happens when the society decides that it is more advantageous to settle, rather than migrate. Throughout ancient history, we have seen various groups of civilization to adept different forms of urbanization near river valleys. These cities include the regions near Mesopotamia, Egypt and the Indus valley. Even though their lifestyle might have revolved the valley as a main source of development, their cultures and beliefs differed greatly from each other.
