March 15, 2002 Smart Growth Network In 1996, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency joined with several non-profit and government organizations to form the Smart Growth Network (SGN). The Network was formed in response to increasing community concerns about the need for new ways to grow that boost the economy, protect the environment, and enhance community vitality. The Network's partners include environmental groups, historic preservation organizations, professional organizations, developers, real estate interests; local and state government entities. The SGN works to encourage development that serves the economy, community and the environment. It is a forum for: Raising public awareness of how growth can improve community quality of life; Promoting smart growth best practices; Developing and sharing information, innovative policies, tools and ideas; Cultivating strategies to address barriers to and advance opportunities for smart growth. Network partners are directly responsible for the coordination and operation of two of the SGN's core activities: the SGN membership program and Smart Growth Online.
