How do the maps support the Six Big Ideas?
The Six Big Ideas work together to support each other, and the Anticipated Growth
Maps support them in a variety of ways.
Filling in Our Framework: showing areas for reinvestment and
context for focused infill development.
Creating Great Places: guiding development appropriate for
different neighborhoods and identifying investment priorities,
including Downtown.
Becoming Car Optional: specifying areas for infill development
and putting uses closer together and focusing more frequent transit
service in areas needing reinvestment.
Prioritizing Sustainability: taken together, the elements in the
maps support environmental stewardship, economic resilience, and
social equity.
Building Community Connections: making land use decisions
appropriate for different neighborhoods will create better quality
of life and diversify the housing stock; focusing on our downtown,
major activity centers, and areas around our campuses emphasizes
what makes our community unique.
Growing Economic Competitiveness: showing areas for
reinvestment, job growth, and appropriate infill development, and
creating a Greensboro that attracts a stronger work force.
