Abstract
 Using ArcGIS to Develop and Analyze Smart Growth Strategies Track: State and Local Government Author(s): Sue Dziamara, Kevin Stewart The Smart Growth Initiative in professional planning circles has been steadily growing over the last decade. The premise is growth management--everything from building design and mixed-use development to preservation of open space and protecting the distinctive characteristics of a community. We will examine how ArcGIS was used in New Jersey to manage a rural county's smart growth planning principles. Through customization in ArcObjects, we are able to preview parcel-level buildout that conforms to the county's environmental and zoning constraints, as well as identify better ways for existing development to improve its use of the land.
