Abstract

This study examines how well Georgia's exurbs in the US promote sustainable development. We assessed 22 exurban plans in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area using an established content analysis method and compared sustainability scores of the exurban plans with those of other city and township plans. The key finding is that Georgia's state-based comprehensive planning programme enhances the sustainability scores of exurban plans by providing a guideline for local comprehensive planning efforts. However, exurban plans do not provide balanced support of sustainability principles but rather they focus on creating livable built environments.
