Urban Growth Boundaries: An Effective Second-Best Remedy for Unpriced Traffic Congestion? (2007, background): “In addition, the analysis has drawn a distinction between spatial expansion that is warranted on efficiency grounds and expansion that is excessive, being a result of market failures and other distortions that impart an upward bias to urban growth (see Brueckner (2000, 2001)).”

Building up or spreading out? Typologies of urban growth across 478 cities of 1 million+ (2019, background): “Budding outward growth is expected for North American cities as they are characterized by low-density, single-family sub-urbanization, but surprising for European cities which have long been conceived as ‘compact’ (Ewing 1997, Brueckner 2000).”
Environmental amenities, urban sprawl, and community characteristics (2006, background): “Policy measures that aim at curbing sprawl will ultimately affect a key element of the American way of life: the ability to consume a large amount of living space at affordable prices [ 6 ].”
Global exposure to river and coastal flooding - long term trends and changes (2012, background): “Also, for economic and political reasons, population growth does not lead to an increase of urban area at the same degree in every region (Brueckner, 2000).”

Does `Smart Growth' Matter to Public Finance? (2008, background): “In particular, three market failures, the failure of development to internalize (1) the benefits of open space, (2) the social costs of traffic congestion, and (3) the cost of the services that it requires, contribute to a sub-optimal pattern of land use (Brueckner 2000).”
Measuring urban sprawl and exploring the role planning plays: A shanghai case study (2017, positive): “…agreement exists as to its specific characteristics: low density or single-use development; scattered or leapfrog expansion; excessive spatial growth; segregated land use; and auto-dependency (Gordon and Richardson, 1997; Ewing, 1997; Brueckner, 2000; Galster et al., 2001; Lopez and Hynes, 2003).”
