SGA@25 Smart Growth America turns 25! Join us for a special evening cocktail reception honoring a quarter century of advancing healthy, prosperous, and resilient communities. The event will bring together 200+ leaders and luminaries in housing, transportation, land use, and economic development to celebrate the movement’s achievements and chart a bold course for the future.
What began in 2000 with just three staff members has grown into the national leader of the smart growth movement. Today, Smart Growth America is leading the effort to connect the dots across the sectors that shape our daily lives—building coalitions, shaping policy at all levels of government, and driving practical, nonpartisan solutions. Purchase your tickets Tickets are now available for Smart Growth America’s 25th Anniversary Celebration. Reserve your spot today to join our friends and partners for an evening of connection, reflection, and inspiration as we celebrate 25 years of progress—and look ahead to the future.
