About this title

Synopsis

This work represents the first broad evaluation of the implications and impacts of community efforts to manage or limit rapid growth. It describes the major types of growth management programs, placing them for the first time in four categories. It also includes an evaluation of such related techniques as targeted capital investments, annexation policy, and public land acquisition. Also examined are the various costs and benefits---some obvious and some not---of growth management programs: development requirements, rate-of-growth controls, urban growth boundaries, mixed housing requirements, and regional planning.

This important book will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and professionals in community and regional planning; local public officials, as well as builders, developers, and others in the development community.
