Find strategies and solutions to building infill development in Greenbelt Alliance’s practical guide, Smart Infill.

The handbook offers advice to help elected officials and local residents invest in their communities and build homes people can afford. Smart Infill splits up the process into four stages:

• Planning: finding room for infill.
• Community: creating better places to live.
• Design: making the most of the infill site.
• Development: strengthening and streamlining the process.

The guidebook features 12 case studies: San Francisco, San Mateo, Redwood City, Morgan Hill, Walnut Creek, Oakland, Berkeley, Emeryville, San Rafael, Petaluma, and Windsor, as well as examples from many more. It also includes recommendations for state and regional action.
