Abstract
  • Brief planning news articles, including: Smart Growth Network: The federal government is working to improve development with a new partnership program called the Smart Growth Network, which was officially launched in July 1996 by the US EPA's Urban and Economic Development Division (UEDD). The Network grew largely out of UEDD's work with the Sustainable Communities Task Force of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. Accordingly, they have adopted the motto, "Metropolitan development that serves economy, community and environment." The dollar symbol in "Smart Growth" is indicative of the program's emphasis on fiscally as well as environmentally responsible development.; Web Search: Data Resources for Planners: list of websites helpful for planners; Organizational Profile: Sustainable America: Sustainable America (SA) is a recently created national nonprofit organization with a geographically and racially diverse membership. SA's mission is to serve as a catalyst for a variety of activities that support: (1) diverse and strong local and regional economies; (2) sustainable resource use; (3) good jobs with family supporting wages; and (4) community control and intelligent leadership to shepherd a range of institutional innovation, public policy changes, and economic development strategies aimed at creating economies that serve current and future generations.
