Smart growth’s birthdate is difficult to identify, though many point to 1997 and the publication of The Toolkit for Smart Growth and the Smart Growth Legislative Guidebook, as well as the passage of Maryland’s Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Act, as seminal starting points. To commemorate its 25-year milestone, affiliates of the National Center for Smart Growth at the University of Maryland have commissioned several papers to be published as a Handbook on Smart Growth in 2022. Join the Maryland Department of Planning and the Smart Growth Network for a series of webinars, Smart Growth at 25, in which planners and academics examine the history, principles, and implementation of smart growth, what we have learned since 1997, salient issues not addressed by the original principles, and the future of smart growth.
The series will begin at 1 p.m., Tuesday, July 13, as Gerrit Knaap of the University of Maryland, Rebecca Lewis of the University of Oregon, Arnab Chakraborty of the University of Illinois, and John Landis of the University of Pennsylvania discuss the history and implementation of smart growth and preview the path ahead. Participants of the live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits. To register complete and submit the form below.
