Abstract Details

2008, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Community Planning.
In 1998, the state of Tennessee passed the Growth Policy Act seeking to minimize urban sprawl. The legislation required municipalities to delineate urban growth boundaries as part of mandated countywide growth policy plans, yet provides a wide degree of discretion to local governments. This research provides an assessment of the state's growth management policy and its local implementation in the small city of Tullahoma, Tennessee. Through analysis of the state's regulatory, institutional, and consistency provisions, weaknesses in the Growth Policy Act are identified that compromise its ability to effectively manage growth. An audit of Tullahoma's planning documents and an analysis of local development patterns reveal practices incongruous with the state's intent to minimize urban sprawl. The research identifies concerns that must be addressed to strengthen state and local growth management in Tennessee, and details a process by which municipalities can evaluate local planning practices for alignment with growth management principles.
