Technical Sessions

In February 2004 we concluded a series of practitioner-focused technical sessions. The sessions sparked peer-to-peer discussions of technical planning issues that are vital to smart growth implementation. Strategies and ideas that emerged from each of the three technical sessions will culminate in a report that project staff will distribute to appropriate state and regional bodies. The sessions also established common ground on components of smart growth among local practitioners, and may generate solidarity and momentum for seeking regulatory changes at the local and state levels. Lastly, findings from the technical sessions will provide policy direction for future implementation programs. Below you will find links to session-related materials.
