Getting to Smart Growth

"Perhaps most critical to successfully achieving smart growth is realizing that no one policy or approach will transform a community."
—Authors

Emphasizing the need for practical and even-keeled approaches to smart growth, GTSG is packed with suggestions that can be implemented in different development scenarios.

Features

  • Getting to Smart Growth is organized around 10 guiding principals. Among the 10 included principles are: mixing land uses; taking advantage of compact building design; creating walkable communities; and crafting distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place. Every principal is then further divided into 10 specific policies and/or tools that promote smart growth initiatives.
  • An easy-to-use chart summarizes monograph content.
  • Practice tips are scattered throughout and highlight programs undertaken on the local, state, and federal levels.
