Learn how your community can grow smarter with technical assistance from Smart Growth America


A view of downtown Oklahoma City, OK by Flickr user Becky McCray. Smart Growth America came to Oklahoma City in April to provide technical assistance.

On Tuesday, Smart Growth America and the Tennessee Department of Transportation released Removing Barriers to Smarter Transportation Investments, a report that provides detailed analysis and specific recommendations to help Tennessee invest more smartly and efficiently in its transportation and infrastructure needs.

The report was created as part of Smart Growth America’s technical assistance, which is available to towns, counties and states interested in learning how to apply smart growth strategies to their own growth or planning. Policy analyses, public investment recommendations and hands-on workshops are among the many services included in our technical assistance.

As a national leader in the field, Smart Growth America has extensive experience helping communities plan for smarter growth. Our expert staff can teach local leaders about the technical aspects of smart growth development, and provide customized advice on how communities can use smart growth strategies to their advantage. Working with town, city, county or state officials, we can help communities achieve their development goals.

Our work with the Tennessee Department of Transportation is only the most recent example of how we can help improve public policy and investment decisions.
