Growth Management and Urban Planning in the United States
International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences, 2015Co-Authors: Arthur C. NelsonAbstract:Growth Management is a particular kind of comprehensive land use and facility planning used in parts of the United States to achieve a preferred form of the built and natural environment in a way that accommodates all projected Growth. When done properly, Growth Management has been shown to elevate economic performance, raise the quality of life, reduce fiscal burdens, and improve environmental conditions relative to trend outcomes. This article defines Growth Management and its early history; outlines Growth Management's primary elements; differentiates Growth Management from related concepts; reviews Growth Management efforts at the state, regional, and local levels of government; and summarizes key benefits.

State Growth Management Programs and Central-City Revitalization
Journal of the American Planning Association, 2003Co-Authors: Casey J. Dawkins, Arthur C. NelsonAbstract:Abstract During the latter part of the 20th century, many U.S. state governments adopted Growth Management programs for the purpose of establishing a more proactive role in the regulation of land use. Although many scholars have recently begun to critically examine the implementation of these new state initiatives, few have explored their effects on patterns of intraurban land development. In this article, we develop a framework for thinking about the likely effects of state Growth Management programs on a central city's ability to attract new residential construction activity and investigate this issue using a panel data approach. Multivariate regression results suggest that these programs have observable effects on the spatial distribution of residential construction activity within urban areas. Furthermore, we accept several hypotheses regarding coefficient stability across states, regions, and program designs. These findings suggest that state Growth Management programs may be an effective tool for pr...

THE LINK BETWEEN Growth Management AND HOUSING AFFORDABILITY: THE ACADEMIC EVIDENCE
2002Co-Authors: Arthur C. Nelson, Casey J. Dawkins, Rolf Pendall, Gerrit KnaapAbstract:In recent years there have been increasing concerns about traffic congestion, urban sprawl and the loss of farmland. Various state and local programs, described as smart Growth, sustainable development and Growth Management, have been created to better manage metropolitan Growth. Despite the growing popularity of such programs, some observers are concerned that these efforts adversely affect land and housing markets and contribute to problems of housing affordability. This report examines a comprehensive selection of literature on the role of Growth Management and affordable housing and concludes that market demand, not land constraints, is the primary determinant of housing prices; traditional land use regulations and Growth Management policies can increase the cost of housing, and if housing prices increase in any land use environment, then the decision to improve housing choice rests with the good and bad land use regulations.

Does Growth Management Matter? The Effect of Growth Management on Economic Performance:
Journal of Planning Education and Research, 2000Co-Authors: Arthur C. Nelson, David R. PetermanAbstract:Growth Management attempts to improve the ordering of development to improve outcomes. To taxpayers, Growth Management promises more efficient delivery of public facilities and services. To developers, Growth Management promises more certainty. To citizen activists, Growth Management promises resolution of development problems in advance, instead of on an ad hoc basis. These promises are heroic. Nonetheless, even if only partly successful, communities engaged in Growth Management should out-perform other communities in overall economic output. This paper evaluates the economic performance of 182 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) with 1990 populations between 100,000 and 500,000 over the period 1972 to 1992 with respect to presence or absence of Growth Management efforts such as urban Growth boundaries, urban service limits, and state or regional oversight of local planning. We find a positive association between the presence of Growth Management and economic performance; communities engaged in Growth ...

comparing states with and without Growth Management analysis based on indicators with policy implications
Land Use Policy, 1999Co-Authors: Arthur C. NelsonAbstract:Abstract In 1973, Oregon adopted its Land Use Act. Florida adopted its Growth Management Acts during 1985 and 1986. Both Oregon and Florida aim to prevent urban sprawl, preserve farmland, improve accessibility, make transit a more viable option, reduce energy needs, and minimize tax burdens. Are they effective? Relative to a reasonably comparable state without Growth Management, Georgia, nearly all indicators developed in this study show that the Growth-Management efforts of Florida and Oregon are effective. Policy implications are offered.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Regulatory Growth Management Programs
2002Co-Authors: John I. CarruthersAbstract:Recent years have witnessed widespread expansion of state and regional Growth Management programs in the United States (Godschalk and Brower 1989; Kelly 1993; Nelson et al. 1995; Burby and May 1997; Porter 1997). By 1999, there were fourteen states with substantive land use legislation, and regional planning, spurred forward by federal transportation policy, now plays a significant role in most metropolitan areas. But while the realization of comprehensive land use policies is widely viewed as a major step forward by members of the planning discipline, much progress remains to be made because program evaluation has not kept pace with implementation. As a consequence, there is little evidence that Growth Management fulfils its intended objectives and even less evidence to counter criticisms suggesting that strict regulation may seriously disrupt local and regional land markets (see, e.g., Fischel 1990; Richardson and Gordon 1993). In short, Growth Management remains surrounded by uncertainty even as it continues to gain momentum and political support. This dilemma is compounded by the disembodied structure of scholarly research on the topic. Within the planning literature, there is an overall lack of systematic analyses and agreed-upon measures for evaluating the outcome of Growth Management programs (Blanco 1998). Moreover, few studies have produced results that are generalizable to other cases (Bollens 1993), leaving little in the way of established theory for new research to build upon. Each of these issues is tied to the multilayered structure of planning in the United States, which has led researchers to investigate “Growth Management” variously at the local, regional, and state levels of implementation. Knowledge of program effects has been built in a piecemeal way, often without explicit recognition of the relevant institutional setting. For example, local and regional urban Growth boundaries may fulfill similar functions, but from a political standpoint, the two represent very different policies—in this case, scale clearly makes a difference. Without a clear understanding of this relationship, supporters are left to defend against criticisms that are more a problem of political organization than of specific Growth Management policies. Responding to the need for a more unified research strategy, this article develops an integrated framework for evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory Growth Management programs. The core argument is that analyses should take a more holistic

The Impacts of State Growth Management Programmes: A Comparative Analysis:
Urban Studies, 2002Co-Authors: John I. CarruthersAbstract:This paper examines the impact that alternative state planning frameworks have on five dimensions of urban development: density, the spatial extent of urbanised land area, property value, public expenditures on infrastructure and population change. The objectives of the analysis are threefold. First, the background discussion provides a brief overview of urban sprawl as a public policy problem and outlines how state Growth Management programmes attempt to respond to it. Secondly, the empirical analysis examines the effects of Growth Management in a cross-section of metropolitan counties during the 1982-97 time-period. The five outcome measures are modelled in a simultaneous equations framework in order to test several specific hypotheses about how state land-use policies affect the character of urban Growth. Thirdly, the results of the empirical analysis are described within the context of previous research on the effectiveness of Growth Management. The findings suggest that state Growth Management programmes with strong consistency requirements and enforcement mechanisms hold much promise for reducing urban sprawl, while programmes that do not require consistency and/or have weak enforcement mechanisms may inadvertently contribute to it.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Regulatory Growth Management Programs An Analytic Framework
Journal of Planning Education and Research, 2002Co-Authors: John I. CarruthersAbstract:This article develops an analytic framework for evaluating the effectiveness of regulatory Growth Management programs. First, the literature review assembles a large body of recent research examining the evolution of Growth Management programs, the role of government institutions, and evidence of policies’ effectiveness. Second, working from the findings of the literature review, the article inductively develops a conceptual model identifying the relationships between program implementation, land market processes, and land use outcomes. Finally, the conceptual model is used to derive a set of principles that may be used to inform future research.

State Growth Management and Housing Prices
Social Science Quarterly, 2006Co-Authors: Jerry AnthonyAbstract:In the United States, Growth regulations aimed at environmental protection and better-quality urban areas have become very popular since the 1960s. Although many studies have examined the housing-price effects of local and regional Growth Management regulations, none has examined the effects of a state law. Past research has also tended to be cross-sectional, rather than longitudinal, and has frequently ignored alternate hypotheses that could explain housing-price trends. The research presented in this article examines the housing-price effects of Florida's Growth Management Act of 1985. Copyright (c) 2006 by the Southwestern Social Science Association.

Do State Growth Management Regulations Reduce Sprawl
Urban Affairs Review, 2004Co-Authors: Jerry AnthonyAbstract:Thirteen states in the United States have adopted state Growth Management legislation that aims to preserve environmentally sensitive areas, improve the quality of urban areas, and reduce urban sprawl. Although there is a considerable amount of literature describing such policies, there is very little that examines the effectiveness of such policies. The author researched the efficacy of state Growth Management laws in controlling urban sprawl by examining the change in urban densities in 49 states over a 15-year period. He found that Growth-managed states generally experienced a lesser density decline than states without Growth Management. However, regression analysis revealed that state Growth Management programs did not have a statistically significant effect in checking sprawl. The author concludes with several suggestions for modifying state regulations to curb sprawl more effectively.

The Effects of Florida's Growth Management Act on Housing Affordability
Journal of the American Planning Association, 2003Co-Authors: Jerry AnthonyAbstract:Abstract Several states have Growth Management laws, and many more are considering them. Multiple studies have confirmed that such laws may increase housing prices. However, higher housing prices do not automatically lower housing affordability. The research presented in this article examines the effect of Florida's Growth Management Act on housing affordability. Using two indices of housing affordability, with data from all 67 counties over a 16-year period, and after controlling for alternate hypotheses, this study finds that the Act had a statistically significant effect in decreasing the afford-ability of single-family homes. To help mitigate this negative effect, some policy interventions are suggested.

A Commentary on Sustainably Built Environments and Urban Growth Management
Sustainability, 2018Co-Authors: Wann-ming WeyAbstract:The concept of urban Growth Management first emerged in the United States in the 1950s. Its goal was to solve problems stemming from urban sprawl by applying integrated planning, Management, and regulation, and to adjust to different development trends in different spaces and times. From the viewpoint of the studies on the link between sustainably built environments, urban Growth Management, and their interactions, this special issue includes theoretical and empirical studies on sustainable built environment planning and design, sustainable Growth Management strategies, and other related emerging topics, such as intelligent use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to sustainably build environments, as well as smart cities research with big data, data mining, cloud computing, and internet of things (IOT) ideas.
