Managing Growth in America's Communities examines regulatory, and programmatic techniques that have been most useful, obstacles to be overcome, and specific strategies that have been instrumental in achieving successful growth management programs. Examples are provided from dozens of communities across the country as well as state and regional approaches currently in use. Brief profiles present overviews of problems addressed, techniques implemented, outcomes, and contact information for conducting further research. Also included in the volume are informational sidebars written by leading experts in growth management. Managing Growth in America's Communities is essential reading for community development specialists, including government officials, planners, environmentalists, designers, developers, business people, and concerned citizens seeking innovative and feasible ways to manage growth.
