Asphalt is easier to break up and get rid of in nature, at least spread it around in little chunks. <BR/><BR/>But to answer your question.

He was a guest on the Daily Show (last month? maybe?) and he had written a book just about that, the earth without humankind, and how long it would take for nature to reclaim things.
