The Northern California chapter of the American Planning Association has selected
Greenbelt Alliance's report Getting It Right: Preventing Sprawl in Coyote
Valley for an award for Outstanding Planning Project. (Read or download
the report at http://www.greenbelt.org/resources/reports/index.html.)
Getting It Right: Preventing Sprawl in Coyote Valley is a comprehensive
report outlining a smart growth vision for development in San Jose's Coyote
Valley,
6,800 acres of farmland and watershed on the city's southeastern edge. Greenbelt
Alliance released the report in June 2003 after convening a yearlong series
of workshops with a broad spectrum of stakeholders to discuss how and where
development in Coyote Valley should occur. Getting It Right demonstrates
how development in Coyote Valley can foster economic vitality, promote social
equity, protect environmental quality, and build a sense of community.
This is the second award Getting It Right has won. The vision also won the
American Institute of Architects' 2004 Honor Award for Outstanding Regional
and Urban Design, which will be awarded in June 2004.
Getting It Right can be downloaded from Greenbelt Alliance's web page at www.greenbelt.org.
Greenbelt Alliance produced Getting It Right in cooperation with a consulting
team led by the respected land use and architecture firm WRT/Solomon E.T.C.
