Description: "Growing Greener is an illustrated workbook that presents a new look at designing subdivisions while preserving green space and creating open space networks. The author offers a three-pronged strategy for shaping growth around a community's special natural and cultural features, demonstrating ways of establishing or modifying the municipal comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance, and subdivision ordinance to include a strong conservation focus.

It includes eleven case studies of actual conservation developments in nine states, and two exercises suitable for group participation."--BOOK JACKET.
