Grow Smart Bay Area
Grow Smart Bay Area is Greenbelt Alliance's vision, backed by intensive research, for how Bay Area cities and towns can accommodate a growing population with compact development in existing neighborhoods, to create more vibrant, sustainable communities. By 2035, nearly two million more people are projected to live in the Bay Area. Grow Smart Bay Area shows how new development in existing neighborhoods can accommodate new residents, while creating more housing choices. Benefits of compact development include safe, walkable neighborhoods near parks and schools, transportation options, and nearby conveniences like shops and restaurants. To learn more, visit www.growsmartbayarea.org. What is smart growth? Smart growth envisions land use planning that concentrates growth in the center of a city to avoid sprawl. Smart growth envisions compact, transit-oriented neighborhoods that are walkable, bicycle-friendly with nearby schools, jobs, and shops and a range of housing choices for people of all income levels. Our Grow Smart Bay Area vision imagines prosperous and livable communities, providing better housing and transportation opportunities while protecting farmland, open space, and the environment.
