Urban planning tools for quality growth

reportFormed in January of 1997, Envision Utah is a public/private community partnership dedicated to studying the effects of long-term growth in the Greater Wasatch Area of northern Utah. Sponsored by the Coalition for Utah's Future, Envision Utah and its partners - with extensive input from the public - have developed a publicly supported growth strategy that will preserve Utah's high quality of life, natural environment and economic vitality during the next 50 years. The Envision Utah partnership includes state and local government officials, business leaders, developers, conservationists, landowners, academicians, church groups and general citizens. This unique and diverse coalition is working together to implement a common vision for the Greater Wasatch Area as it faces the prospects of immense growth in the coming decades

QGET quality growth efficiency tools scenario analysis

reportThe Greater Wasatch Area is currently home to 1.6 million people (a population slightly smaller than the Portland metro area). By 2020, the population is expected to increase to 2.7 million people (a population roughly equivalent in size to the current population of the San Diego metro area). This means that on average, throughout the period, the population will increase by approximately 43,000 new residents per year, a population the current size of Bountiful. This population growth is expected to occur at a rate twice the national average and two-thirds of the growth will originate from the region's own children and grandchildren

Quality growth efficiency tools: progress report

reportThe Quality Growth Efficiency Tools project team has been meeting since July 1996 to develop a process and set of tools to improve the quality of growth related information to plan for Utah's future. The Project's stated purpose is to improve the technical and analytical models used to forecast growth and to improve the processes and procedures that accompany the management of data and models. Two key components of this project guided the initial efforts of the project team. First, facilitate the sharing of growth related information with local government, business, and industry and improving our knowledge about current land/resource use in the four metropolitan counties of the Wasatch Front. Second, gain a better understanding of existing planning and analysis models used by various state agencies

State of Utah economic & demographic projections 1994: highlights

reportThis document reviews and examines the major conclusions from the larger, more detailed report, State of Utah Economic and Demographic Projections 1994. The Governor's Office of Planning and Budget (GOPB) publishes these long-term projections biennially. The primary purpose of the projections is to improve decision making and planning coordination in state government by providing a uniform set of population and employment projections. Theses projections extend through the year 2020 and have been generated by the Utah Process Economic and Demographic Model; (UPED). The UPED model is an economic base / cohort-survival model that has been used by state government for many years to project and understand future growth. In addition to the UPED model and the staff efforts of GOPB, these lastest projections incorporate the extensive contributions of representatives from the seven Associations of Government (AOG) in Utah. Therefore these projections represent a consensus projection of the future based on both a statewide and local perspective. Additional information concerning methodology, models, and assumptions can be found in the full report

QGET: quality growth efficiency tools databook

reportIn the last six years Utah has experienced an unprecedented economic boom. Economic growth has attracted large numbers of residents from other states to Utah. High in-migration, combined with a consistently growing resident population, has applied pressure on Utah's existing transportation, educational and recreational facilities. The need to preserve Utah's quality of life and plan for infrastructure improvements has given rise to Quality Growth Efficiency Tools (QGET), a cooperative civic/private regional growth management initiative. This report details the progress of the QGET technical committee in providing growth-related information to planners, elected officials and the general public. It will show what information is currently available to analyze the impacts of future urban growth through historical trends and future projections
