Communities that are in spread out secluded areas
and are dependent on automobiles is considered
Sprawl
3
To stop sprawl we need address the 10 principles
of smart growth
4
Ten principles of smart growth

• Create more housing choices
• Make walkable neighborhoods
• Make the community work together
• Keep the community looking nice
• Keep the development fair and cost effective
• Mixed land uses
• Preserve open space
• Use more transportation other than a car
• Strengthen the community, dont build as much
• Use more compact buildings

5
Four principles that we think are the most
important
6
What Makes Smart Growth

• More places to interact with other people.
• More diversity within the community

7
Mixed land uses
Mixed land uses are better than large single land
because it gives people more options on how to
use the land.
8
The reason why sprawl results in urban
disinvestments

• People become wealthier so they move from the
  city and move to the suburbs
• The suburbs exceed while the city deteriorates
• The homes are all the same

Transportation

Newark is to build more parks and recreational
centers.

Conclusion

• We put a bike path for people who do not want to
  drive a car and who want loose weight.
• We replaced the warehouse with an open area for
  recreational purposes.
• We replaced the gas station with an arcade to
  promote less driving and pollution and more
  gaming, fun, and socializing.
• We put more restaurants where the vacant
  buildings were.
