New jobs and homes
would continue to
eat up rural land,
while homes in first-
ring suburbs as well
as central cities
would be abandoned.
Exurban housing growth puts
pressure on farmers who are
tempted to sell land that is worth
more for housing than for crops.
New homes in outlying areas can
also consume natural lands that
provide valuable “environmental
services.”
Large homes with long commutes
use more energy than others.

Protect Farmland, Parks,
and Natural Areas
A suburban “smart
growth” strategy
would protect a great
deal of undeveloped
land even as it
provided suburban
housing choices on
“greenfield” sites.
Suburban housing in more compact
patterns would help save farmland
and environmentally-sensitive lands
like wetlands and stream corridors.
“Smart growth” in the suburbs would
also help conserve energy in heating,
cooling and transportation.
Still, this scenario preserves less land
than “villages” or “cities.”

A REGION
OF VILLAGES
Focusing new housing
and job growth on
both villages and
urban centers would
protect most of prime
farmland, natural
areas and open space.
The “Region of Villages” scenario is
very similar to the “Back to the Cities”
scenario in how much land they
preserve from development.
This scenario conserves somewhat
less energy per household than the
city-centered strategy because it
involves longer commutes for people
who live in villages but work in the
city.

Protect Farmland, Parks,
and Natural Areas
Concentrating new
development in
central cities and
older suburbs would
preserve the lion’s
share of rural land
for farming and
“environmental
services.”
A “Back to the Cities” strategy would
put the least pressure on farmland
and open space in rural areas.
Development practices that
conserve rural lands and focus
development in urban centers are
also the most energy efficient.
