Federal, state, and local advocacy: Threading the needle to advance smart growth
About the Video
With each administration change, there are significant shifts at the federal level in terms of priorities and approaches to transportation, land use, and other aspects of smart growth. One thing is clear in our minds: the issues we work on are vital and urgent, we cannot throw up our hands and wait for the government to change. Instead, it is important that Smart Growth America, and all of those who believe in smart growth, find ways to advance our agenda and make progress, regardless of who is in charge. With this in mind, this panel of experts gives their perspectives on smart growth policy, advocacy, and real-world actions to take at three different levels.
