Do a study of your region. What aspects of urban sprawl and urban blight are evident? What environmental and social problems are evident? Are they still going on? Are efforts being made to correct them?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers to this question will vary by region. Many small towns do not have the same visible symptoms of urban sprawl or urban blight, but the problems that plague urban areas are not unique because they are human constructs. In small towns or rural areas look for situations and actions that, if allowed to continue for many years, would produce what we observe in urban areas.
