William Fulton and Morris Newman

William Fulton and Morris Newman, commentators on urban planning, metropoliton growth, and economic development, reveal some of the intersections between smart growth and the arts through stories and examples such as the Village Arts and Humanities in Philadelphia and the revitalization of the downtown area of Jamestown through the efforts of the Arts council of Chautauqua County, New York. The authors considered why arts funders should care about smart growth and why funders concerned about smart growth should care about the arts. The essay was commissioned by GIA and the Funders Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities.
