Smart Growth Alliance

The Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance (MSGA) is dedicated to promoting healthy and diverse communities, protecting critical environmental resources, advocating for housing and transportation choices, and supporting equitable community development and urban reinvestment. They achieve this mission by advancing legislation, advocating for state planning and funding decisions, and identifying best practices to help communities tackle smart growth challenges. They support a statewide network of individuals, organizations, municipalities, and businesses with information resources, advocacy tools, and peer-learning opportunities. Founded by a coalition of housing, environmental, planning, and design groups, they aim to make more great places in Massachusetts by advocating for laws, regulations, and funding at the state level and partnering with local groups to achieve their goals.
