The University of Maryland has extensive expertise in the areas of environmental science and policy; land use, natural resource and transportation planning; and the development and design of communities and housing.
The National Center for Smart Growth brings this multidisciplinary background to the study of Smart Growth.
Faculty and staff from four schools at the University work together to provide in-depth analyses of land use issues as well as the policies that govern them.
The integrated effort of these four schools provides a diverse and rigorous perspective to the field of Smart Growth.
