Bruce Babbitt, former U.S. Secretary of the Interior during the Clinton Administration, talked about his book, Cities in the Wilderness: A New Vision of Land Use in America, published by Island Press. The author wrote that America needs a new land use policy if it is to avoid the irreparable harm of urban sprawl and mass deforestation.
