Coalitions

Smart Growth Network

The Smart Growth Network (SGN) is a national alliance of organizations that brings together advocates, practitioners, policy makers, and local leaders working towards a shared vision for land use and infrastructure policies and actions that result in healthy, sustainable, equitable, and prosperous communities for all.

Home>Programs and Coalitions>Smart Growth Network

The SGN aims to:

  • Build a stronger constituency for smart growth policies, including continuing to expand this constituency beyond national level organizations to local practitioners; 
  • Provide a space that organizations and local governments can look to for information on smart growth policies and the latest research; and 
  • Provide spaces for smart growth practitioners at all levels (national, local) to share best practices, learn from one another, and build off each other’s work.

Our history

Since its creation in late 1996, SGN has become an essential destination for planners, practitioners, and advocates to access information about smart growth-related news, events, information, research, presentations, and publications.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is one of the founding partners of the network.
