Smart Growth Theory

Smart Growth Theory is an urban planning approach aimed at creating sustainable, vibrant communities. It focuses on using land efficiently by promoting higher-density development, mixed-use spaces, and walkable neighborhoods. This theory encourages the preservation of open spaces and encourages public transport to reduce car dependency. By integrating homes, businesses, and services, Smart Growth seeks to enhance quality of life, protect the environment, and boost local economies. Ultimately, it aims to create healthier, more connected communities while addressing challenges like urban sprawl and congestion.
