Endorsed Developments

Greenbelt Alliance is dedicated to protecting open space and making our communities better places to live for people of all income levels. Through our Compact Development Endorsement Program, we work to support higher density infill projects, located near existing services and public transit, in existing urban areas. The Compact Development Team endorses and supports residential, mixed-use and commercial development that are pedestrian-oriented and transit accessible, use land efficiently, and provide homes people can afford.

Since the early 1990s, the Compact Development Team has endorsed the creation of more than 60,000 homes around the Bay Area.

If you would like more information on why Greenbelt Alliance endorsed these developments or how you can speak up for individual smart growth projects, contact Marla Wilson via email or at (415) 543-6771.
