*About the National Center for Smart Growth*

The National Center for Smart Growth was created in 2000 to establish the University of Maryland as a national leader in research and education on the land use issues raised by the term "Smart Growth." To date, the Center has received more than $2 million in grants and contracts. Our research is organized into four subject areas: land use and environmental policy, housing and community development, transportation and human health, and international urban development.
