Gerrit Knaap, director of The University of Maryland’s National Center for Smart Growth Research and Education, describes the challenge of making Maryland’s innovative smart growth policy a state-wide reality. Mr. Knaap offers insights into why the state's Priority Funding Areas, aimed to concentrate state investment in existing neighborhoods, did not deliver the results that state planners and smart growth advocates had hoped for. He also describes how other states or localities can learn from the Maryland experience and where Maryland goes from here to realize the promise of statewide smart growth.
