"Planned Progress is an exploration of the American suburbs through an appropriated town planning document. The term sprawl describes a landscape of disorder; but by examining the history of town planning in America we can see that it is anything but. A false cohesion is created through separation of land uses buffered by expanses of landscaping, but above all we see a shallow veneer that promotes quality, success and a power over nature that are barely skin deep."
