Promoting Compact Development

Promoting compact development, increase well designed density

Compact well designed development will lead to more livable communities.

Not just the homes people live in, but the shops, recreation and schools should all be included within walking distance. Promote mixed-use and transit-oriented designs along existing transit corridors making public transit more feasible, and where residents can walk or bike to more destinations lessening the dependency on polluting automobiles. Increased population will also make small retail and neighborhood orientated commercial businesses more economically viable.
