In April 2011, Smart Growth America partnered with the City of Billings, Montana on a two-day workshop to talk about ways that this relatively small (but regionally significant and growing) city could pursue strategies to foster more and better infill development and curb sprawl. Based on their experience leading this workshop, our panelists will provide an overview of some of the challenges smaller, growing Western cities like Billings face in adopting good infill strategies.
