1. spawl

   Sprawl, in the context of urban planning, refers to the spread of development, often unplanned or uncontrolled, across a landscape resulting in a low-density, fragmented, car-dependent environment, typically on the outskirts of a city. This type of development usually involves the conversion of open, rural land into built-up, developed land over time. Sprawl often leads to issues such as increased travel time, infrastructural inefficiency, environmental degradation, and loss of community cohesion.
