I met with two friends the other day and, with our mutual interest in city planning, the topic quickly turned to the great development potential for the Georgia Mountains Center area. Indeed, there is big potential. One key premise of new urbanism (aka, smart growth) — along with access to groceries, restaurants, short commutes, priority for bicycles over cars, walkable neighborhoods, etc. — is the idea of mixed housing: a range of types, sizes and prices in closer proximity (www.newurbanism.org).
