It outlines three alternatives: limited spread mixed-density growth, development of new communities with greenbelts, and high-density growth within urban cores. Emphasizing the need for balance, the piece argues that anti-sprawl does not equate to anti-growth. The discussion includes the importance of creating sustainable, livable spaces that accommodate increasing populations while preserving urban vitality.
