Smart Growth Alliances
With their public, private and nonprofit sector leadership, smart
growth alliances are building a broad-based, regional consensus around
growth and development patterns to encourage healthy communities that
are economically beneficial and environmentally responsible. ULI has
worked with diverse local stakeholders in a number of communities to
support the formation of regional smart growth alliances:
About Forming New Smart Growth Alliances
The formation of a smart growth alliance typically includes the
adoption of a set of smart growth principles for the region, development
of a common growth vision and implementation of programs that address
smart growth challenges and opportunities in the region.
The goal of these alliances is to identify where there is consensus
among public officials, developers, environmental groups and grassroots
organization, as well as between urban, suburban and rural interests on
growth issues, and to identify projects where the alliance can work more
effectively than could individual organizations acting alone.
Alliance partners often include, but are not limited to, the ULI
District Council; local or regional homebuilder associations;
representatives from environmental organizations, civic groups,
businesses, and state, regional and local governments; the chamber of
commerce; and academics.
