Planning and Development Trends

On a local level, planning dramatically impacts infrastructure needs. By producing more goods and services locally, living closer to work, and rethinking our urban and suburban development, there will be less of a need to build and maintain large interstate highway systems. Instead, funds can go to local projects.

"Infrastructure isn't sexy. But,
we all need it, we all rely on it,

our safety depends on it, and it's

time that people start talking

about it."

--Ed Rendell
Governor of Pennsylvania
