Urban sprawl occurs when the dense populated area of a city overtakes what were originally suburban or rural areas adjacent to it. It is characterized by increases in commercial and industrial activity as compared to typically residential land use in suburban neighborhoods.
This is common to most metropolitan areas of the US that experienced growth in population or in commercial activity, leading to the increased use of high-rise housing.
