Endorsed Developments
 Greenbelt
Alliance is dedicated to protecting open space and making our communities
better places to live for people of all income levels. Through our
Compact Development Endorsement Program, we work to support higher density
infill
projects, located near existing services and public transit, in existing
urban areas. The Compact Development Team endorses
and supports residential, mixed-use and commercial development that are
pedestrian-oriented and transit accessible, use land efficiently, and
provide homes people can afford.
Since the early 1990s, the Compact Development Team has endorsed
the creation of more than 60,000 homes around the Bay Area.
If you would like more information on why Greenbelt Alliance endorsed
these developments or how you can speak up for individual smart growth
projects, contact Marla Wilson via email or
at 415-543-6771.
