Abstract: “Smart growth management” is a solution to the problem of urban sprawl and low-density development in the U.S. It puts forward an important policy basis of reorganizing the city’s spatial pattern, delimiting a boundary line of the city’s development and facilitating the city’s compact development. This report sorts out US cities’ practice of implementing smart growth management based on related research findings by Lincoln Center. Facts show that the smart city growth management has an obvious effect on addressing urban population gathering, alleviating traffic jams, balancing regional financial budget and protecting ecological and agricultural land. However, it played a rather weak role in relieving the pressure of housing. The smart city growth management experience gained by the U.S. makes good reference to 皇冠体育app on transforming urban development mode from extensive growth to intensive growth.
