The ECOS Approach to Land Use Issues includes:

  • Advocacy for regionally responsible planning that is cognizant of the need for sustainable development and the impacts of climate change.
  • Oversight of proposed development projects of regional significance.
  • Action to support sensible infill projects and oppose greenfield development.

ECOS supports Land Use policies and projects that:

  • promote infill development and take advantage of existing community assets by accommodating additional growth in already developed areas
  • foster walkable, close-knit neighborhoods through a system of fully connected streets, pedestrian paths and bicycle routes
  • promote distinctive, attractive and safe communities with a strong sense of place
  • discourage urban sprawl and the associated infrastructure costs, car dependence, environmental degradation, social isolation, and public transit inefficiency
