Not sure what smart growth really is, where to begin, or how to put it into action in your area? This new book provides an in-depth look at the underlying principles
of smart growth, explains how developers and planners have applied them, and how the public and private sectors can collaborate to make smart growth show more effective.
Topics include economically viable compact mixed-use development, conserving open space, expanding mobility options, creating livable communities, smart growth in suburban greenfields and infill areas, and the role of the players involved in putting smart growth to work.

This book explains in plain terms how developers and planners can involve the community in the development process using the latest community engagement tools. It describes why, in these days of more complex projects and development approval procedures, it pays to win citizen support rather than fight opposition.
