How to use sprawl in a sentence?

  1. Stefaan Poortman:

    Sites all over the world are under threat at any given moment. Apart from the monuments and ancient cities in the Middle East, I would say historic districts of major cities in Asia face the highest threat due to the unchecked sprawl and development, tourism is not regulated well enough and the massive influx is putting a strain on sites all over the world.

Not only does it affect the sites but at a certain point, if unchecked, tourism can negatively impact the quality of life for local communities as well.
