A new report released by the Environmental Protection Agency details a "fundamental shift" in the development of cities and towns, as increasing amounts of development are focused in denser, more efficient patterns of land use. Experts are attributing this trend to a realization that smart growth principles lead to more sustainable, livable, and prosperous environments--and thus to higher demand for real estate in those areas. The Obama Administration's Sustainable Communities Partnership, as well as their nonprofit, philanthropic, and private partners, hope to extend the benefits of this exciting trend to more cities and towns across the country.
