Greetings from
Smart Growth America!

Americans want smarter growth, and this report shows how to get there.  In 26 full-color pages, it gives a general overview of the new approach to growth, development and community quality of life called Smart Growth.

The report begins with the results of nationwide poll we conducted in September, 2000, to determine Americans' support for alternatives to sprawl.  The second chapter defines Smart Growth and how to achieve it.  The third and fourth chapters describe Smart Growth solutions at work in communities around the country and make recommendations for action at the federal, state, and local levels, in the private sector and for citizens.
