FLORIDA'S GROWTH MANAGEMENT LEARNING CURVE

Reid Ewing

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

Florida's 1985 Growth Management Act, built around three Cs, concurrency, consistency, and compactness, has been viewed as a groundbreaking law and as a model for other states. This paper examines the progress of the law after it became apparent that it was not living up to expectation, particularly in the matter of transportation. The amendments to the act in 1993 and a Sprawl Rule in 1994 required that development must be designed to discourage sprawl. Additionally, the state has acted on lessons learned about the relation of transportation and sprawl. The paper provides case studies of Dade County and Orlando to illustrate the effects of changes to Florida's growth management.
