| Abstract: |
This publication explains why and how communities should employ smart growth planning principles to build schools that better serve and support students, staff, parents, and the entire community. It presents examples of supportive state and local policies, as well as case studies from around the country that show how community-centered schools and the planning process used to design and build these schools have improved education and fostered more livable places. EPA and CEFPI recognized a need for such an integrated planning process in the urban planning and environmental fields and among educators and school board members. |
