Abstract: | This article reports the results of an examination of the relationships between degree of sprawl and improvements in ozone
air quality for 52 metropolitan areas in the US. It also examines state political alignment and environmental resources with
regard to these two primary objects of investigation. Evidence of a relationship between sprawl and air quality improvement
was identified, but the evidence is ambiguous. More research appears warranted to explore the sprawl–air quality improvement
relationship.
