The Smart Growth Tool Kit: Community Profiles and Case Studies to Advance Smart Growth Practices

Abstract

This Tool Kit is divided into four parts - Preface, Smart Growth Community Profiles, Smart Development Case Studies, and a Resource Guide. Five communities are profiled - Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Charlotte, North Carolina; Montgomery County, Maryland; and Silicon Valley, California - in the second section of the report. Each profile includes an overview of the community's smart growth strategy, one or more information contacts, demographic and market trend information, a community description, and a brief description of the smart growth tools it is using. These profiles demonstrate the range of solutions that exist for implementing smart growth in communities. Case studies, the third part of the Tool Kit, is comprised of four categories - infill development, brownfield redevelopment, inner- ring development, and suburban development. The final section is a resource guide for communities that wish to start a smart growth program.
