As development pressures increase and as undeveloped land disappears at an increasing rate, growth management and regulation have become significant themes in land use planning. Using the perspective of legal literature, this article examines many ideas that have an impact on these themes, with an emphasis on important conceptual and legal issues. Specific state initiatives are a focus, as is the role of regional programs. The federal government also plays its part. In addition, the article examines the relationship between growth management and such areas as biodiversity and endangered species, water policy, and farmland preservation. The article concludes with a final inquiry into the legal limitations that can shape growth management policy.

Key Words: smart growth • growth management • sustainability • regulation • regionalism
