| Abstract: |
The subjects of smart growth and urban sprawl are the current darlings of the popular press. Most discussions of sprawl and smart growth focus on protecting open space, curbing sprawl, and improving regional transportation. But what impact does this have on minority homeownership opportunities, housing affordability, and gentrification? We need to ensure that smart growth does not precipitate another round of urban dislocation of low-income and minority households. In other words, is smart growth fair for everyone? This year’s Fannie Mae Foundation/Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP) conference takes a critical look at two aspects of smart growth and urban sprawl. First, we will unveil research defining “sprawl” and second, we will address the impact of both urban sprawl and smart growth on social equity. |
