Renaming "Urban Sprawl"

Dictionary Meanings according to the Macquarie International English Dictionary (2004):

Urban - 'relating to or belonging to a City'

Urbane - 'showing sophistication, refinement, or courtesy' --> wouldn't it be nice if our cities and towns were sophisticated, refined and courteous? Perhaps thats what we should aim to achieve as Designers?

Urbanite - 'somebody who lives in a City or Town'

Urban Sprawl - 'the expansion of an urban area into areas of countryside that surround it' --> not neccessarily having negative connotations in its meaning, therefore we have applied negativity through malpractice?

Sprawl - 1. 'extend in disordered way. To extend over or across something in a disordered, awkward, or ugly way'
              2. ' unchecked growth of urban area. The scattered, un-planned, and unchecked expansion of a town or city into surrounding coutryside'
--> so it is the addition of 'sprawl' to 'urban' that provides the negative connotations, therefore we need to replace this word.

Sprawl Synnonyms - ramble, spread, straggle, trail, cover, plaster, expand, extend

Urban Synnonyms - civic, city, inner-city, metropolitan, municipal, town, built-up
