What is a Imagine an attractive, pedestrian-oriented and easily accessible neighborhood, with houses close to shops, restaurants, workplaces, entertainment, and other activities. There are parks and great public spaces. People have choices in the types of homes provided, and new housing meets a variety of income ranges. For many, it is possible to commute to work by train or bus. These are some of the essential elements of livable communities, towns and cities that are economically, environmentally and socially sustainable. |  |
How Greenbelt Alliance fosters livable communities:
- We advocate for smart growth, good transit and transit-oriented development, housing choices, affordable housing, and open space protection.
- We endorse infill developments that meet our smart growth criteria, helping put these residential and mixed-use projects on the ground.
- We engage residents of fast-growing Bay Area communities to help them advocate for good development.
- We conduct research and policy advocacy to promote better development.
- We build coalitions working for these objectives.
