2nd Annual Smart Growth Conference
May 4, 2000
Empire State Plaza
Albany, NY

Creating Quality Communities
for the 21st Century
At the heart of the smart growth dialogue
is the renewed interest in reinventing our urban centers and
older suburbs as livable places of sustainable economic vitality
and cultural enrichment, while protecting our environment and
rural working landscapes. Residents and government officials
alike are seeking new and progressive ways in which to implement
smart growth policies that enhance the quality of our communities.
On May 4, 2000 over 350 people from
across New York state attended National Audubon Society's 2nd
Annual Smart Growth Conference at the Empire State Plaza in Albany,
New York.
Highlights included Lieutenant Governor
Mary O. Donohue, who described the work in progress of Governor
Pataki's Quality Communities Task Force and nationally renowned
smart growth planner, Victor Dover, who explained the importance
of design in linking the private home to the community and the
importance of mixed uses in community development.
