Smart Growth and Equity Policy Development
(9/1/2000 - 11/30/2002)
The project documented existing local, community-based projects in an effort to include these voices in the larger smart growth development discussion. It examined how the benefits of regional economic growth might be used more effectively to address pressing social problems in these communities and the broader region. Funding for this project came from the Woods Fund of Chicago.
