Local Govt Commission

"The New Partners for Smart Growth Conference is the place where those of us collaborating to build the communities of the future can take smart growth to the next level. The smart-growth movement has done a phenomenal job of advancing urban revitalization in re-energizing urban areas and facilitating in-fill development. But, the truth is that 50 to as much as 90 percent of new growth is going to take place in the suburbs. We at ULI and others in the private sector development community are intent on joining forces with the public sector and nonprofits to successfully accommodate this growth. The New Partners for Smart Growth conference in Portland is where that partnership can be formed."
    —Harry Frampton, Chairman, The Urban Land Institute
