EPA and ICMA Release “Getting to Smart Growth II: 100 More Policies for Implementation”

Free copies available for a limited time!!

Interested in smart growth but not sure how to make it happen?

“Getting to Smart Growth II: 100 More Policies for Implementation” provides states and communities with 100 policy options that can be mixed and matched to fit local circumstances, visions, and values, and highlights steps that the private sector can take to encourage more livable communities. It follows on the heels of the extremely popular first volume of Getting to Smart Growth. The publication serves as a road map for states and communities that have recognized the need for smart growth but are unclear on how to achieve it. This publication will be an essential part of any policymaker or smart growth
practitioner’s reference library.

Like the first volume, Getting to Smart Growth II provides 10 policy options to achieve each of the 10 Smart Growth Principles. These policies are supported with ”Practice Tips” which offer additional resources or brief case studies of communities that have applied the approach to achieve smart growth. Features of
the new volume include — An entirely new list of 100 policies for implementation — More case studies and examples in each chapter — An appendix listing funding resources for smart growth projects.
