DOWNLOAD EBOOKAbundant open space is a defining characteristic of the United States. It has affected the nations history and cultural identity, and, during the last decade, managing urban sprawl and protecting open space has become a major public policy challenge. Today, many state and local initiatives are attempting to answer an extraordinarily complex question: How can communities accommodate new residents and businesses without sacrificing the important historic, cultural, ecological, and social values within the built and natural environments that are so essential to quality of life?In this report, conducted by the LBJ School and the Community and Regional Planning Program of the UT Austin School of Architecture for the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the findings from 32 case studies in 15 states are presented. The initiatives are evaluated in terms of issues addressed, approach adopted, nature of intergovernmental relations and partnerships, scale, and role of the federal government. Characteristics of effective cases are identified as well as future challenges and opportunities. This report is the second of a two-part research project for the CRS. The first report, State Growth Management and Open Space Preservation Policies (see http://www.utexas.edu/lbj/pubs/books/prp_143.html), identified and categorized state government initiatives concerning growth management and open space preservation enacted since 1990. This inventory revealed the national scope of such initiatives and identified the most active states, from which the 32 case studies in the second year of the project were drawn.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUpdating his previous books on planning and growth management, John DeGrove examines the evolution of smart growth systems in nine key states across the country: Oregon, Florida, New Jersey, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont, Georgia, Maryland, and Washington. The chapters identify the major issues that precipitated the adoption of new systems; pinpoint the key stakeholders in new legislation; describe the features of various growth management systems; outline the implementation records; and examine the political prospects of future systems. DeGrove traces the evolution of legislation and planning efforts to contain sprawl patterns of development so that sustainable natural and urban systems can be established and maintained over time.
