Design

By promoting the principles of green building design that combine energy and water efficiency, healthy indoor air quality and the use of natural building materials with mixed use neighborhoods, revitalized downtowns, walkable communities, and high density, low impact development, smart growth creates communities that provide environmental, economic, social and health benefits for all.
