Dru Schmidt-Perkins on WYPR (Podcast)

Hey Smart Growth, What's with all the Sprawl?
(11:56)
Maryland is still growing--the population is up about six and a half percent since 2000. And the population doesn't always settle in ways that urban planners would call "smart."  A new report from the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education looks at what Maryland's smart growth laws have--and haven't--accomplished in the decade-plus since they went into effect. We talk to Dru Schmidt-Perkins, Executive Director of 1000 friends of Maryland, a non-profit that advocates limited growth; and Gerrit Knaap, Executive Director of the National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education.
