  • Abstract:
    Smart growth is a development strategy that encompasses economic, environmental and social objectives to manage ; the growth of a community. The basic principles of smart growth are to: ; • Mix land uses. ; • Take advantage of compact building design. ; • Create a range of housing opportunities and choices. ; • Create walkable neighborhoods. ; • Foster distinctive, attractive communities with a strong sense of place. ; • Preserve open space, farmland, natural beauty and critical environmental areas. ; • Strengthen and direct development toward existing communities. ; • Provide a variety of transportation choices. ; • Make development decisions predictable, fair and cost-effective. ; • Encourage stakeholder and community collaboration in development decisions. ; Smart growth as a strategy has been well developed and used in metropolitan areas across the country, however, ; there may be gaps in the understanding of how smart growth can be used in rural regions. In general, rural smart ; growth is simply the attempt to apply the basic principles of smart growth to rural, less-developed areas. Rural smart ; growth strategies tend to focus on regional collaboration, the preservation of open spaces and environmental ; protection. ; This Preliminary Investigation seeks to capture a range of available resources and strategies applicable to the ; development and implementation of smart growth strategies in rural California.
