Urban sprawl is the spread out, and the low density development beyond the inner city, where people have to depend on automobiles and highways because they live far from the inner city.
Metropolitan polarization is a developing process where communities are moving toward extremes …show more content…
The process of sprawl contributes to polarization because of the lack of transportation choices created in metropolitan areas have prevented residents with the lack of resources, employment and occupations.
Residents are unable to develop wealth and maintain the cost of living due to the lack of resources in their community. Individuals living “at risk” communities are facing consequences because of the patterns in ways the region is growing due to the competition aspect. Therefore, tax-base sharing is a way to reduce competiveness.

Tax-base sharing will significantly, “improve both the equity and efficiency of the regional fiscal system” (Orfield and Luce 29). A portion of local tax base accumulated by wealthy communities will be redistributed back to local areas doing poorly every year.
