Smart growth and sustainability directly impact the quality of life for current and future generations. The concept of smart growth emphasizes efficient land use, transportation options, and community development. Additionally, it encompasses fostering vibrant, livable spaces while reducing urban sprawl and environmental degradation. Sustainability ensures that we meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, preserving natural resources, biodiversity, and ecological balance.
At the Corner of Smart Growth and Sustainability covers a variety of smart growth principles including the economic, environmental, and housing aspects of community development. In this course, students will learn how to build communities in a sustainable way, taking into account both the built and natural environment. They will also discuss ways that REALTORS® can partner with other thought leaders to create the outcomes that our communities deserve. By embracing smart growth and sustainability, we create healthier, more equitable communities, mitigate climate change impacts, and build resilience in the face of global challenges.
