Growth Management Survey Data
Submitted by gdillin on Tue, 05/30/2006 - 05:45.
Is anyone aware of any data collection activities concerning growth management programs? I am primarily concerned with the policies being implemented at both state and local levels, as well as the monitoring, enforcement and incentive mechanisms.
Thanks

Maybe we should blame Thomas Jefferson. He was the godfather of the urban sprawl racket in America.

Maryland Smart Growth Report Card
Summary of the Project:
In a project closely related to the national demonstration project, the Center is working with the Maryland Department of Planning to develop indicators that will provide insights on the performance of the state’s Smart Growth initiative. Measures of urban development capacity will be included among the indicators, which will allow Maryland jurisdictions to assess their progress in following their own land use plans and their relative efficiency in managing growth. Funded by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, the project represents an independent, objective review of the progress made as a result of Maryland’s landmark 1997 Smart Growth program. In conjunction with this project, Dr Knaap has been appointed by Governor Ehrlich to serve on a task force charged with designing methods of development capacity analysis. Chaired by Maryland Planning Secretary Audrey E. Scott, the task force is to issue its first report in June 2004.
