Smart Growth

The Smart Growth movement recognizes the inherent value of both natural and human capital and encourages development that follows the Ahwahnee Principles for Resource-Efficient Communities. These principles provide a blueprint for compact, mixed-use, walkable, transit-oriented communities that break the cycle of sprawl and dislocations between work and home. The Ahwahnee Principles include the following:

Integrated Approach Vision and Inclusion Poverty Reduction Local Focus Industry Clusters Wired Communities Long-Term Investment	Human Investment Environmental Responsibility Corporate Responsibility Compact Development Livable Communities Center Focus Distinctive Communities Regional Collaboration
