The Smart Growth Implementation Toolkit
January 22, 2008
The Smart Growth Implementation Toolkit helps communities across the nation to encourage development that creates safer, healthier, more livable neighborhoods; helps to protect the environment and reduce energy consumption; expands housing options; helps households lower their expenses; and maximizes returns from existing community investments.
The Toolkit is designed to help community leaders review and revise their land use policies, zoning and development codes and project design standards. It includes step-by-step audits of policies and codes, as well as a scorecard for evaluating proposed development projects.
