The Smart Growth Guide to Local Government Law and Advocacy

This is a comprehensive reference to the legal aspects of smart growth in BC.

More compact urban centres can reduce the ecological footprint of citizens living in these areas, with less stress on air, land and water. As rapid growth, uncontained urban development, loss of farmland, and sprawl threaten the well-being of our communities, it’s more important than ever to get it right the first time around.
