What will Idaho look like in the next 20 years?
As one of the fastest growing states in the country Idaho communities need smart growth now more than ever. Idaho Smart Growth works with communities to help build communities that are healthy, safe and resilient.
This Giving Tuesday support our work and help Idaho grow smart.
Since 2000, Idaho Smart Growth has collaborated with partners across the state to bring the pieces together to create great places to live. We are a progressive, comprehensive resource center working towards a more sustainable pattern of growth, connecting people to places.

Join our Next 20 Founders Circle by becoming a monthly donor so we can continue this work for another 20 years.
Great places don’t just happen; people make them! Great communities are walkable, have a healthy mix of land uses and real choices for housing and transportation. They embody a strong sense of place and they preserve the farmland, open spaces and natural beauty around them. Development is compact and efficient, and is encouraged where there are people and services. Development decisions are predictable and fair and include all stakeholders.

Safe routes can enable lifelong habits for a healthy and active lifestyle. Idaho Smart Growth supports Safe Routes coordinators around the state. We have resources, trainings and guidance to share.
