  1. Chapter 8: The steps of regional planning • 1. admit that growth will occur • 2. establish a permanent country preserve (UGB) • 3. designate the corridors (especially public transit) • 4. establish priority development sectors • 5.establish permitting process that follows the neighborhood model (TND, make it legal!) • 6. fairly distribute the “lulus”

  2. Portland case study: the urban growth boundary

  3. Urban growth boundary, in sum • Pros • Stops leapfrog development and sprawl • Maintains a sharp geographic border between urban/rural • Encourages higher density, which dovetails with the needs of public transit effectiveness • Less land consumed/more sustainable • Cons • Artificially increases the cost of land • Artificially increases the cost of housing, making it less affordable to the masses • Perhaps decreases the price of land just outside the UGB, thus punishing land owners there who would like to see to developers
