Sustainable Economic Development

The Center for Livable Communities is a national initiative of the Local Government Commission (LGC) which is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization. In 1991 the LGC developed the Ahwahnee Principles for resource-efficient local and regional land use planning.

The principles create an interesting synergy among the principles of new urbanism, sustainable development, and economic development.
