1. Public Park

• Type: Green space/infrastructure


• Size or number and relative placement within Area A: Approximately 5 acres, centrally
located within Area A
• Justification: A public park encourages smart growth by providing space for residents,
promoting physical activity, and enhancing the overall quality of life. It also helps to
preserve green space within the urban environment, counteracting the effects of urban
sprawl by maintaining a balance between developed and natural areas

2. Buildings
• Type: Residential and commercial buildings
• Size or number and relative placement within Area A: 10 buildings, located along the main
route built in Area A
• Justification: Mixed-use development promotes smart growth by combining residential and
commercial spaces, reducing the need for long commutes and encouraging walkability.
This type of development supports a vibrant community atmosphere and helps to reduce
traffic and pollution.

3. Bicycle Lanes and Pedestrian Paths

• Type: Transportation infrastructure


• Size or number and relative placement within Area A: 3 miles of bicycle lanes and
pedestrian paths, connecting key areas within Area A (possibly to where the buildings are
located for better access).
• Justification: Bicycle lanes and pedestrian paths encourage smart growth by promoting
alternative transportation methods, reducing reliance on cars, and decreasing traffic. They
also contribute to a healthier lifestyle for residents and reduce the environmental impact of
transportation.

4. Community Garden

• Type: Agricultural space


• Size or number and relative placement within Area A: 1 acre, located near the public park.
• Justification: A community garden supports smart growth by providing residents with
access to fresh, locally grown produce, promoting sustainable agriculture, and fostering a
sense of community. It also helps to preserve green space and can serve as an educational
resource for residents.
