New Jersey Smart Growth Locator

In 1992 the New Jersey State Planning Commission adopted a blueprint for growth that designated certain "smart growth areas." The core principles of that plan combined with new technologies helped shape an innovative planning tool. The New Jersey Smart Growth Locator is a free online service that allows people to type in a street address and find out whether the property lies in a designated smart growth area and thus eligible for certain benefits. Prospective buyers can now find where their new home might fall and developers can make smarter business decisions.

A Semester in Review, New Year Resolutions, Building Blocks and Toy Cars

In the dawn of the New Year, I cannot help but reflect on my pivotal moments in 2008, and look forward to 2009. I wrapped up – no, survived – my first semester in the Master of City Planning program at MIT. I am being a little dramatic here, but the program is really very rigorous. One thing I learned was that with such a rigorous program there is no need to make it unnecessarily more challenging. When I arrived in Cambridge, I was very excited to be in school again – I graduated from college ten years ago – and I registered for five and a half classes. Three and a half of the classes were required and two were electives. It was recommended that we take only one elective, but I was psyched and I was going to take MIT by storm!
