Making Smart Growth Work

by: Douglas R. Porter / Urban Land Institute

This 170-page book provides an in-depth look at the underlying principles of smart growth, explains how developers and planners have applied them, and how the public and private sectors can collaborate to make smart growth effective.

Topics include economically viable compact mixed-use development, conserving open space, expanding mobility options, creating livable communities, smart growth in suburban greenfields and infill areas, and the role of the players involved in putting smart growth to work.
