growth management
definition: Beginning in the 1960s in the United States, dissatisfaction with the negative effects of urban sprawl led to an interest in growth management. Starting with the land use initiatives of a few local U.S. jurisdictions, today growth management has attained the status of a mainstream planning tool.
