Abstract
One of the most significant developments in the advancement of comprehensive land use planning in the United States has been the enactment by some state legislatures of programs designed to foster statewide local or local-regional growth management. A comparison of eight state-sponsored growth management systems reveals wide diversity in program features and provisions. Yet, four distinct paradigms emerge, each suggesting different paths to accommodating growth in varying political, economic, social, and environmental settings.
