This Is Smart Growth
February 8-10, 2007

The 2007 New Partners for Smart Growth Conference in Los Angeles, California, hosted record attendance of over 1500 people from across the country for three full days of presentations, discussions, and information sharing.

Local Government CommissionsThe conference was produced by the Local Government Commission (LGC), with support from a very impressive and multi-disciplinary group of partners and sponsoring organizations, agencies and companies. Without their collective support, this dynamic event would not have been possible. For a complete list of sponsors and cosponsors, visit www.newpartners.org/sponsors.html.

The conference program is reproduced below and PowerPoint presentations have been made available courtesy of the presenters and the LGC, as PDF files. Presentations from each day may be viewed by selecting the appropriate link. Please note: while nearly all the PowerPoint presentations given at the conference were collected and are posted here, there were several speakers who did not use PowerPoint as part of their presentation.

Audio CDs of the conference are also available. Nearly all of the conference sessions, plenaries, breakouts and workshops were audio recorded. Get audio order form (PDF).

Please note: Some presentation files are large and may take time to download. Number of pages and file size information is provided next to the presentation link.
