Planning for smarter, strategic growth is an investment in your community’s future. Smart Growth America can help your community achieve its development goals. We teach local leaders about the technical aspects of smart growth development, and provide customized advice on how communities can use smart growth strategies to their advantage.

In addition to Smart Growth America’s year-round services, we offer a limited number of free workshops to help local leaders and residents make their communities more livable, sustainable, and vibrant. Stay updated on our free technical assistance opportunities:
