<br /> Smart Growth 2022: The Green Bay Comprehensive Plan
<br /> The Green Bay Comprehensive Plan was notable for its elegant marriage of issues,
<br /> alternatives, concept plan and functional plan elements. The plan was the product of a _
<br /> process that helped the community identify its most important values and needs,express
<br /> them as distinctly different alternative futures, engage in a discussion and debate about —
<br /> those values,then translate those ideas into clear,directive policies for use by staff and
<br /> officials.
