Answer to Question 1

The Sustainable Communities and Development program provides grants to foster the development of more livable urban neighborhoods. Groups such as Sustainable Communities Online and Smart Communities Network provide information, help, and case studies, demonstrating that the movement is gaining group support throughout the nation.

Answer to Question 2

Most people live in urban areas now. It is critical that these areas become more sustainable. However, very little population growth is occurring in rural areas. Investing in rural sustainability and drawing people back to rural areas will be important.
