Identify nongovernmental organizations in your region that are working toward reining in urban sprawl or toward preserving or bettering the city.
 
  What specific projects are underway in each of these areas? What roles are local governments playing in the process? How can you become involved?

Question 2

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?

Answer to Question 1

Nongovernmental organizations that will address urban sprawl tend to include those interested in habitat preservation, road development, land use planning, and so on. If there is a local Audubon Society, this organization is typically interested in preserving parts of the urban area where birds can be observed.

Answer to Question 2

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.
