- Smart growth and sustainable development
Urban Growth Management Concepts and Origins
- Urban Growth Management (UGM) is a regulation of urban areas's development in terms of their scale, timing, location, and characteristics.
- It's more than just growth control; it actively shapes growth patterns toward desired outcomes.
- UGM encompasses growth management, growth control, and no-growth policies.
- Origins include:
- Post-WWII suburbanization
- 1960s environmental awareness
- Concerns about overpopulation and environmental damage
- Criticisms of uncontrolled urban sprawl
Growth Management Program Examples
- Ramapo, New York: Regulation of zoning only allowing certain types of development and controlling infrastructure to deter uncontrolled sprawl.
- Boulder, Colorado: Implemented land-use regulations, which restricts new housing growth in certain areas.
- Fort Collins, Colorado: This approach focused on making development pay for the infrastructure (e.g. roads) it required—thus slowing the rate of development
- Hawaii: First state to establish growth management plans, to balance population growth with concerns over environment and quality of life.
- Florida: Policies aimed at managing urban expansion.
- Oregon: This state developed regulations around growth boundaries in their planning.
Smart Growth and Sustainable Development
- Smart growth is a approach emphasizing growth patterns that minimize negative impacts on the environment and social equity while supporting economic development.
- Characteristics of smart growth include:
- Mixed-use zoning
- Compact development
- Focus on public transit & walkability
- Preserving green spaces
- Affordable housing access
- Sustainable development is a concept that combines economic advancement with social and environmental responsibility; to address global issues in terms of resources and sustainability.
- It necessitates balancing economic progress, social equity, and environmental stewardship.
- Key factors, including environmental quality, social equity, and economic development all require careful consideration of each other's needs to plan for sustained levels of improvement.
