Why We Do It

How we develop our land and build our transportation systems go hand-in-hand. When we design for more compact development and safe transit, bicycling, and walking networks, it makes mass transit economically feasible, it invites developers to build residential, retail, and office buildings more compactly, and it allows people better access to work or school.

When we get all of the elements of smart growth right, the result is a city that offers a variety of transportation and housing choices for all who call the Charlotte region home.

Sustain Charlotte is a community-based nonprofit organization.
