St. Louis Great Streets - East-West Gateway launched the St. Louis Great Streets Initiative in early 2006 to expand the way communities think of their streets. Rather than viewing a roadway project as solely a way to move more cars and trucks faster, the goal of the St. Louis Great Streets Initiative is to trigger economic and social benefits by centering communities around interesting, lively and attractive streets that serve all modes of transportation.
The National Association of Realtors takes on Smart Growth - Keeping a community attractive, livable, and functioning well is a complex task. . . . Whether your community is grappling with transportation and land use issues, crowded schools, or open space, or working to bring vacant properties back to productive use, NAR’s Smart Growth program has resources to help you and your association plant seeds that will pay dividends for years to come. "Developers" are often hesitant to support smart growth and green communities, so the NAR's program is a good step forward in explaining what it's all about.
