Blueprint 2030: How To Grow

"No longer would the focus be on how much to grow, but how best to grow. Rather than allowing suburbanization to advance like Napoleon's army along a broad front, the new strategy would intrude more gently on Minnesota's fragile landscape, skipping over wetlands and other natural features while concentrating development more efficiently and conveniently...according to an estimate by the respected planning firm Calthorpe Associates, would run as much as $10 billion cheaper over 20 years than the current pattern. Taxpayer savings come mainly in roads, schools, sewer pipe and other utilities."
