Smart growth recognizes that in order to preserve the resources we value most and create vibrant communities, we must be aware of the relationship between development patterns and quality of life, and we must realize that no town can develop in a vacuum - health, environmental, and quality-of-life issues do not stop at a town's borders.
Smart growth strategies allow our communities to grow in a way that preserves our open spaces, minimizes pollution and habitat loss, maximizes economic prosperity, and is equitable to all citizens.
This online resource provides information for New Jersey citizens on how to implement some of the most successful smart growth strategies in their towns, as well as information on where these techniques have worked, why these techniques are necessary, and how to get assistance to implement these techniques.
The power to help New Jersey grow smart is in your hands!
The NJ Smart Growth Gateway is a project of New Jersey Future. And, we've had a lot of help -- click here to see everybody who has contributed time and resources to this project.
