Developing Implementation Strategies
The Smart Growth Leadership Institute can help your community create an effective roadmap to implement smart growth through:
After 50 years of sprawling development, the task of reshaping our communities and our growth is overwhelming. Many of our children have never even seen healthy cities or communities where it is possible to bike down the street for a popsicle. Our current zoning codes, transportation policies, and state programs make these things nearly impossible, and sometimes even illegal.
The Smart Growth Leadership Institute helps communities to identify problematic policies; reconcile codes and regulations; manage changes in development practice; and, build the community support needed to encourage smart growth and create better communities for the future.
We can help your community formulate effective strategies for revitalizing your older neighborhoods, making development choices predictable, leveling the playing field for smart growth development, protecting valuable farm and ranch land, providing transportation and housing choices, and enhancing the quality of the environment.
