Smart Growth Illustrated

"Smart growth is all about how we build our communities. It is often easier to communicate ideas about density, design, walkability, and housing and transportation choice with pictures than with words alone. Smart Growth Illustrated does just that -- provides visual examples of smart growth techniques as they have been used in different places. Although every example illustrates several smart growth principles, each was chosen to illustrate one specific principle. In aggregate, these case studies effectively illustrate the 10 smart growth principles as they have been used in 20 communities around the country. "
