Partnerships for smart growth university-community collaboration for better public places

The Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning in conjunction with the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy has released "Partnerships for Smart Growth: University-Community Collaboration for Better Public Spaces." Written under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. EPA, the report profiles 13 university-lead collaborations on smart growth initiatives. "Partnerships for Smart Growth" includes 13 case studies of university-community collaborations on smart growth initiatives. The chapters include geographically diverse locations and urban, suburban, and rural projects. Each case includes a comprehensive discussion of how and why the project was initiated, who was involved, what techniques were employed, what were the pitfalls, and what was the outcome. The result is a book with wide appeal for university administrators, land-use planners and administrators, scholars, and community development experts. Chapters are arranged by examples of smart growth in Curriculum, at Research Centers, by Collaboration and in the Community.
