Measuring the Adoption of Local Sprawl Reduction Planning Policies in Florida
While sprawling growth patterns have become a major issue for planners and environmental managers, little empirical research has been conducted on the adoption of sprawl-reduction policies in local plans. The authors systematically evaluate the comprehensive plans of fortysix local jurisdictions in southern Florida for the presence of five sprawl-reduction planning policies (SRPPs) using planevaluation techniques. Results indicate a clear statistical and spatial pattern of SRPPs across the study area and show that specific socioeconomic and demographic characteristics influence the adoption of SRPPs in comprehensive plans.
