Speech given to the Broward County Commissioners on the relationship between the basic elements of "Smart Growth" and future growth challenges within Broward County. Broward County is uniquely hemmed in by the Everglades on the West and the Atlantic Ocean on the east; and it will run out of vacant developable land by about 2010. Yet its population rose by 360,000 in the 1990s and may keep on growing rapidly. This means future growth can only be accommodated through redevelopment and by growing up, not out. The speech explores the implications of this situation.
