Abstract
  • Over the last several decades, rural populations have been growing at an exponential rate. While some rural communities have accommodated this growth through low-density development, other areas are employing smart growth techniques in an effort to preserve open space, ensure adequate affordable housing, integrate land use and transit, and encourage compact, mixed-use development. This article identifies the growing pains common among rural communities and highlights the accomplishments of seven communities that have successfully leveraged development strategies for the betterment of their communities.
