Growth Vision

Compass Blueprint is a new way to look at how we grow. The Compass Blueprint Growth Vision is a response, supported by a regional consensus, to the land use and transportation challenges facing Southern California now and in the coming years.

The Growth Vision is driven by four key principles
•    Mobility – Getting where we want to go
•    Livability – Creating positive communities
•    Prosperity – Long-term health for the region
•    Sustainability – Preserving natural surroundings

To realize these principles on the ground, the Growth Vision encourages:
•    Focusing growth in existing and emerging centers and along major transportation corridors
•    Creating significant areas of mixed-use development and walkable communities
•    Targeting growth around existing and planned transit stations
•    Preserving existing open space and stable residential areas

Generated by a comprehensive process initiated by SCAG in 2000, the Growth Vision includes input from extensive community participation, technical modeling analysis and expert peer review.
