Smart Growth: A Primer by Deborah Curran and May Leung This reading was created in response to the massive growing of urban and suburban developments in British Columbia. The goal of this program is to use land and development practices that enhance the quality of life in communities, preserve the natural environment and in turn save money. (pg.2) In the text the authors mention a multitude of different strategies that can be used to maximize the smart growth process. These include Integrating urban development into ecosystems, changing how we use and see infrastructure, managing growth and developing community partnerships.
These strategies are all a very vital part to seeing success from this type of program. However, none of this can be done if the people in the community do not work together.
