Synopsis

Growth Management Principles and Practices shows how to integrate diverse growth management practices into a comprehensive system that balances potentially competing planning goals.

Authors Nelson and Duncan argue that growth planning must be coordinated among different levels of government and across regions in order to be effective. Studies of growth trends, profiles of regulations in various states, and numerous tables and photographs illustrate the benefits of properly integrated growth management activities and the adverse effects of unmanaged growth and poor planning.

The authors also explain how growth management fits into a broad policy framework. They look at how growth management can protect taxpayers, help governments plan for public facilities when and where they're needed, distribute facility costs according to burdens imposed and benefits receives, and protect local and regional economic bases.

About this title

Synopsis:

Sound growth management depends on consideration of local community assets, global resources and the needs of future generations. This volume assesses these principles, and shows how they relate to traditional, new and emerging growth-management practices. The book provides an overview of various local, regional and state approaches to growth management and an analysis of the applicability of selected growth-management techniques. It looks at those practices which are most and least effective, and explains how and why communities should integrate different techniques to achieve maximum benefits.
