Communities across the
country are using creative strategies to develop in ways that preserve natural
lands and critical environmental areas, protect water and air quality, and
reuse already-developed land. They conserve resources by reinvesting in
existing infrastructure and reclaiming historic buildings. EPA Smart Growth Program helps
communities grow in ways that expand economic opportunity, protect public
health and the environment, and create and enhance the places that people love.
Through research, tools, partnerships, case studies, grants, and technical
assistance, EPA is helping America's communities turn their visions of the
future into reality.
