The theme is Building Sustainable Communities. Sustainable communities are commonly defined as places that have a variety of housing and transportation choices, with destinations close to home. The goal of a sustainable community is to lower transportation costs, reduce air pollution and stormwater runoff, decrease infrastructure costs, preserve historic properties and sensitive lands, save people time in traffic, be more economically resilient and meet market demand for different types of housing at different price points.
