The resources provided as part of the assessment tool are among the best and most comprehensive Smart Growth materials currently available anywhere and include: web based publications, implementation tools, Michigan case studies, articles, books, and more. There are specific resources for each of the ten assessments and they are available to those registered for the assessment.
Without these resources, no community would know what other communities throughout Michigan and the nation are doing to implement smart growth. The creative ideas and tools in the resources can serve to stimulate local leaders to improve quality of life through Smart Growth. The resources provided with the assessment feedback are tailored to Michigan communities and designed to help find solutions to specific issues addressed in the assessment.
The Smart Growth Network also provides a wealth of information for communities through its on-line resources at www.smartgrowth.org and through its publications:
- Getting to Smart Growth: 100 Policies for Implementation
- Getting to Smart Growth II: 100 More Policies for Implementation
- This Is Smart Growth
