Affordable housing initiatives allow more people to call Oregon their home. Economic development analyses help local land use planners set-up their towns and cities for long-term success. Transportation planning allows towns to grow into newly-built roads and pathways without feeling cramped. Public facilities plans ensure people will have the utilities they need for modern life. Recreation planning allows residents and visitors to enjoy Oregon’s beauty. Each aspect of planning city development helps Oregon grow. Urban Growth Boundaries and Urban/Rural Reserves
Implementing Goal 14: Urbanization
Goal 14 of the statewide planning program is, "To provide for an orderly and efficient transition from rural to urban land use, to accommodate urban population and urban employment inside urban growth boundaries, to ensure efficient use of land, and to provide for livable communities." See OAR 660-024 to learn more about how UGBs are created and expanded.
