Land-Use is a process in which various constituencies (planners, elected officials, corporations, advocates, and the public) manage a community?s land and the land?s subsequent development. This course examines trends in land-use (e.g., Growth Management, Smart Growth, New Urbanism, Sustainability, Shrinking Cities, etc) in order to understand that development is a constant occurrence. However, the choice of the applied land-use and the desired outcome are contextually dependent on location and development trends.
