The Effectiveness of Smart Growth Policies: An Evaluation of Four Statewide Programs
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy recently released a study entitled “Smart Growth Policies: An Evaluation of Programs and Outcomes,” which examines the impact of smart growth policies in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and Oregon. Growth patterns in these four states are compared to growth patterns in four states that do not have smart growth legislation: Colorado, Indiana, Texas and Virginia. How have smart growth policies in these states affected housing development, affordability and transportation infrastructure? What are the environmental affects of development in states with smart growth policies compared to those without? What lessons can be learned for use in Massachusetts? The authors of the report will discuss their findings, while local experts will offer a Massachusetts perspective.
Co-sponsored by the Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance
