If you have been following this blog you might have seen me write about promoting smart growth, I mean, it is on the top of this website. So I feel that now, since I have successfully presented the facts on urban sprawl, it is in mine and your best interest to promote smart growth.
According to current trends, population growth is inevitable, so if we're going to grow, why not be smart about it?
Smart Growth recognizes that there is a relationship between the way we grow and the quality of our lives. It aims to save our most valuable remaining natural resources before they are forever lost. Smart Growth supports existing communities and neighborhoods by targeting resources to support development in areas where the infrastructure is already in place or planned to support it. It also saves taxpayers millions of dollars in the unnecessary cost of building the infrastructure required to support sprawl.
Check out this official smart growth website for more in-depth coverage on the movement
