Strategic City and Town Planning Advocacy
Stop the sprawl. Grow, Up Not Out.
Stop the sprawl. Grow, Up Not Out.
Cities and towns across the U.S. are grappling with more sprawl, more traffic, and less of what we value.
Up Not Out® was built to simplify urban planning, help cities grow smarter, and conserve wild land.
Up Not Out® is built on one principle:
Cities thrive and conservation works when we modernize how cities grow.
Cities maintain defunct policies preventing growth and forcing sprawl:
Mandating excessive parking on every lot, wasting up to 50% of space on dead asphalt.
Limiting building height to extreme minimums, preventing walkable, space-efficient growth.
Outlawing mixed-use development and housing downtown, forcing single-use, car-dependent sprawl.
We are your strategic partner for preventing sprawl.
Why is your downtown covered in surface parking lots? Your city requires it.
Stop the sprawl. Help your city grow up, not out.
