Growing Greener:
Putting Conservation into Local Plans and Ordinances

by Randall Arendt

This illustrated workbook on subdivision design that protects open space contains an excellent discussion of zoning as a tool for producing better subdivisions. Arendt explains how to design residential developments that maximize land conservation without reducing overall building density, thus avoiding the political and legal problems often associated with "down-zoning". A companion CD-ROM, Growing Greener Ordinance Language (2001, Island Press, $25), provides model zoning and subdivision ordinances developed by the Natural Lands Trust.
