“Despite advancing awareness of the need for smarter growth, many systemic drivers of sprawl--inappropriate subsidies, poor transportation planning, uncompetitive urban schools, bad zoning and land-use plans, and racism--remain unaltered. Attend this important conference to learn cutting edge strategies for making safe, healthy, and more livable communities more often the norm rather than the exception.”     —Ben Starrett, Executive Director, Funders' Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities
