Smart Growth America (Organization)

Description: The Smart Growth America organization is a "coalition of national, state and local organizations working to improve the ways we plan and build the towns, cities and metro areas we call home." To work on these issues, they offer interested parties a wide range of helpful resources about their work, which includes planning for public transportation, sensible development plans, and maintaining open space. Visitors may want to start by checking out their web-exclusive video series titled "American Makeover". The program looks into issues like sprawl, sustainable development and so on by profiling different communities around the United States. Moving on, visitors can use the "Resources" area to look over recent policy documents created by the organization, including "Growing Cooler: The Evidence on Urban Development and Climate Change". Also, their blog is both insightful and frequently updated, and it provides commentary on infrastructure improvements and economic development programs.
