Smart growth initiatives build racial equity by focusing on improving fiscal health and social equity. SGA aims to address and equip advocates and political leaders with the tools they need to create more equitable outcomes within transportation, housing, and land use and development plans and practices.
We’ve been equipping local leaders, planners, transportation staffers and others to deeply engage the arts, culture, and creativity to better reflect and celebrate local culture, heritage, and values—especially from underrepresented communities—as they design and plan transportation projects.
As we said during our first Equity Summit in 2021, “If it’s not equitable, then it’s not smart growth.”
We envision sustainable, equitable, and resilient communities
