Planners can use urban growth boundaries to meet state and local growth goals. This report shows how urban growth boundaries can concentrate new development within mapped areas to ensure efficient delivery of urban services, preserve more open land and farmland, and prevent the costly and detremental effects of urban sprawl. The report defines various types of urban growth areas, discusses the criteria for mapping boundaries for these areas, and tells how to make the boundaries work. It features case studies of communities in four states.

Urban sprawl is one of the key planning issues facing many US cities, leading to the creation and adoption of a variety of approaches to control growth. However, many growth management ideas do not align well with the growth-promoting planning traditions of the US, which historically have been dominated by the concerns of the market, the landowner and the developer. Illustrated by a study of the San Francisco Bay Area, this book puts forward an innovative theoretical approach to growth management, analyzing it as a tool for controlling land use expansion in the US. This region makes a particularly useful study as it has encountered long term growth pressures, complex land use demands and the application of a wide variety of growth management approaches over the past few decades. Using empirical, qualitative analysis, the book examines which growth management activities have actually been put into practice and which have proved successful and questions how such a planning approach functions in today‘s complex and multi-faceted planning paradigms. It concludes by stressing the different notions of interdependence in growth management: regional interdependence, interdependence between stakeholders and interdependence in planning theory.

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the logic of urban growth management programs from the perspective of efficiency in infrastructure provision. Of the many urban growth management and control instruments, two instruments, capital facility plans and urban growth boundaries (UGBs), are analyzed in this thesis. To analyze the logic of capital facility plans and UGBs, the standard urban model is extended to include a public service produced with a continuously variable input and a lumpy infrastructure input. The lumpy investment input is fundamental to the model. Because infrastructure can be added only in large, lump-sum investments, the cost of providing the public service varies discontinuously over time. This discontinuity in public service cost serves as the logical foundation for capital facility planning and for managing urban growth using UGBs. To analyze the logic of capital facility planning, the rate of urban growth is initially viewed as exogenous, and local governments must choose the timing and sizing of investments in infrastructure. The model is then extended to include a fee which, under a balanced-budget constraint, must equal the average cost of providing the public service. In this model, therefore, the rate of growth is endogenous, and influenced by the timing and sizing of investments in infrastructure. When the balanced-budget constraint is relaxed, local governments are able to manage urban growth by setting the public service fee. In this model local governments maximize social welfare by making timely investment in infrastructure and by pricing the public service at marginal cost. The model reveals that the optimum rate of urban growth varies over time if investments in infrastructure are lumpy. To achieve efficiency in the utilization of infrastructure, local governments should set the public service fee so as to encourage urban growth when there is excessive infrastructure capacity and to discourage urban growth when capacity is diminished. To develop the logic of urban growth boundaries, local governments who make lumpy infrastructure investments are prevented from pricing the public service at marginal cost. Under this assumption, UGBs serve as an alternative instrument for managing the rate of urban growth. In the first model of UGBs, the level of infrastructure is fixed, the public service is priced at average cost, and the planning horizon is finite. This model demonstrates that under certain parameter values, UGBs can increase social welfare and that such UGBs exist, are unique, and durable. Examining the impacts of lumpy investments in infrastructure on the UGBs results in the four strategies that local governments can use to manage urban growth. In subsequent models local governments make lumpy infrastructure investments and impose urban growth boundaries recursively. The different orders of the recursive process yield different recursive models such as Capacity-Boundary vs. Boundary-Capacity models. Finally models integrating the capital facility plans and UGBs are developed, based on an assumption that local governments make good use of all available instruments at the same time to maximize social welfare. The properties of these models are illustrated using numerical simulations.

As urbanization progresses at a remarkable pace, policy makers and analysts come to understand and agree on key features that will make this process more efficient and inclusive, leading to gains in the welfare of citizens. Drawing on insights from economic geography and two centuries of experience in developed countries, the World Bank’s World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography emphasizes key aspects that are fundamental to ensuring an efficient rural-urban transformation. Critical among these are land, as the most important resource, and well-functioning land markets. Regardless of the stage of urbanization, flexible and forward-looking institu- ons that help the efficient functioning of land markets are the bedrock of succe- ful urbanization strategies. In particular, institutional arrangements for allocating land rights and for managing and regulating land use have significant implica- ons for how cities deliver agglomeration economies and improve the welfare of their residents. Property rights, well-functioning land markets, and the management and servicing of land required to accommodate urban expansion and provide trunk infrastructure are all topics that arise as regions progress from incipient urbani- tion to medium and high density.

Managing Growth in America's Communities examines regulatory, and programmatic techniques that have been most useful, obstacles to be overcome, and specific strategies that have been instrumental in achieving successful growth management programs. Examples are provided from dozens of communities across the country as well as state and regional approaches currently in use. Brief profiles present overviews of problems addressed, techniques implemented, outcomes, and contact information for conducting further research. Also included in the volume are informational sidebars written by leading experts in growth management.

This is the first book to both assess growth management principles and show how they relate to traditional, new, and emerging growth management practices. It looks at which practices are most - and least - effective in achieving growth management goals. And it explains how and why communities should integrate different techniques to achieve maximum benefits. Numerous photographs, tables, and figures illustrate the benefits of properly integrated growth management techniques - and the adverse effects of unmanaged growth and poor planning.
