Thirteen states have smart growth laws; fifteen others are studying them. Godschalk examines what other states, like Maryland and Washington, are doing and what North Carolina might do.

Abstract:
Levofsky writes, \"As metro areas continue to grow, rural communities will play a critical role in absorbing population and economic activity.\" Some rural communities have dealt with this growth through low-density development, including commercial strips, multi-lot planned housing developments, and outlying locations of public buildings. Other areas are employing smart growth techniques to preserve open space, maintain community character, provide adequate, affordable housing, and encourage compact, mixed-use development. Levofsky outlines the different patterns of sprawl and presents seven case studies that highlight smart growth successes in addressing rural sprawl.

The Roanoke Rapids Theater was constructed in 2005 at a cost of $21.5 and was intended to promote economic growth by becoming a tourist stop along heavily travelled I-95.

Abstract:
Local participation in land use planning is being considered the best way to overcome the pitfalls of rapid development. In response, the 1973 North Carolina General Assembly passed the Land Policy Act which created a land policy council to promote patterns of sound environmental land use that also encourage and support local governments exercise their responsibilities.
