Urban Planning Tools for Quality Growth: Your Community Toolbox

This guide was developed by Envision Utah, "a public-private community partnership dedicated to studying the effects of long-term growth in the Greater Wasatch Area of northern Utah."

"This document is a guidebook that outlines tools to take [the Greater Wasatch area] to a community that, in many ways, echoes back to our past--with its close-knit neighborhoods, tree-lined streets, pedestrian-friendly walkways, nature and farmland within reach of the city, and houses marked by character."   [Foreword] 

This 294 page guide includes chapters on protecting sensitive lands, meeting housing needs, making the community a good place to walk, reuse and infill, water conservation, urban forestry, energy conservation, walkable commercial development, and public safety in residential street design.
