Policies Affecting Equity, Sustainability, and Quality of Life" by

The presentation discusses: the trends (sprawl, outmigration,

development; the public policies driving the trends at the local,
regional, and state levels; and what CPHA and its allies are doing to
unite the region around reversing these trends
