与更多的扩张相比,智能增长愿景具有强大的智力和情感吸引力。然而,尽管一些地方遵循精明增长政策,但它们的数量远远超过那些经常讨论但很少有效实施此类政策的地方。为什么会这样呢?成功的执行需要采取放弃长期传统的政策,包括地方自治和低密度生活模式。这些中间步骤对大多数美国人没有吸引力。本文分析了城市规划者、政府官员、环保主义者和真实的房地产开发商中的精明增长倡导者如果希望从愿景走向现实,应该把注意力集中在哪里。
The Smart Growth vision has a strong intellectual and emotional appeal, compared to more sprawl. However, though some places follow Smart Growth policies, they are outnumbered by those where such policies are commonly discussed but rarely practiced effectively. Why is this the case? Successful implementation requires adopting policies that give up long-established traditions, including local home rule and low-density living patterns. These intermediate steps are unappealing to most Americans. This article analyzes where Smart Growth advocates among urban planners, government officials, environmentalists, and real estate developers should focus their attention if they hope to move from vision to reality.
