Moderator: Geoff Anderson, President and CEO, Smart Growth America. (90 minute session) There is nothing intrinsically liberal or conservative about the idea of creating more efficient places for people to live. Compact development, livable communities and sustainable economies are nonpartisan values. So-called liberals embrace these and other values associated with the smart growth movement – such as transit-oriented, walkable, bicycle-friendly land use and mixed-use development. The challenge now is for supporters to frame the discussion in a way that will engage more conservative thinkers. We often hear that conservatives believe land-use development and economic growth should be propelled from the bottom up by entrepreneurs and consumers in a free market – not imposed by government regulation. In this plenary, we’ll take a look at both viewpoints and see where we can find common ground. | | MP3 | | $10.00 | | $10.00 | |
