A paradigm shift in land development is underway - a shift that recognizes the fundamental importance of future decisions about what we do with our land. A shift driven by multiple factors, none more prevalent than the growing interest in livable communities, the importance of preserving our dwindling open space and agricultural lands, and the changes to our climate and the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions.
What might developments of the future look like? Revitalized urban clusters of homes, shops, and workspaces surrounded by parks and open space, rather than relentless sprawl over the countryside. Developments that are walkable and well connected to transit, rather than car-centric. Healthy communities in which neighbors know each other and socialize, every day. Communities with a strong sense of place.
Smart land use planning policies will move this evolution forward by guiding growth into suitable areas while meeting emissions targets; modernizing outdated land development codes to link transportation systems and land use; protecting open space and agricultural lands; and recognizing the geographic limitations of landscape. CirclePoint's integrated environmental planning and communications teams effectively guide successful development processes and build consensus on practical solutions for managing growth.
