Smart Growth BC
Smart Growth BC is a non-governmental organization devoted to fiscally, socially and environmentally responsible land use and development. It was incorporated as an independent non-profit society in 1999. Smart Growth BC works throughout the province with community groups, businesses, developers, planners, municipalities and the public to create more livable communities in British Columbia.
Smart Growth BC was created as a joint project of the University of Victoria Eco-Research Chair of Environmental Law and Policy and West Coast Environmental Law Association. The smart growth project aimed to nurture and mobilize a growing citizen movement addressing growth and sprawl issues around the province, and to provide sound alternative policy solutions to these issues.
