While land use and transportation design strategies targeting greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions are relatively well understood, there are significant barriers to actually implementing developments that reflect these strategies. We explore these challenges in three essays, using the Sacramento, California region as a testing ground. First, we evaluate the trajectories of population density, street interconnection, land use-mix, job accessibility, and distance to transit that arise in recent residential development, finding that with the exception of increasing density, new residences trend away from smart growth principles. Development that leads the region in terms of smart growth principles is somewhat dense and interconnected, but is located in largely residential areas far from jobs. Even in jurisdictions with a number of policies supporting smart growth, what is built often falls short of policy goals, raising questions about this gap. Next, we examine how a number of policies promoting density and land use-mix translate into residential development plans and how those plans translate into what is built. Policies promoting land use-mix are at best weakly connected and at worst inversely related to what is planned. The connection between development plans and what is built is stronger. Where we observe divergences between plans and what is built, they often involve increases in single family acreage at the expense of multi-family and commercial acreage, although densities also increase. In light of the gap between policies and what is planned, we examine one hurdle to planning low-impact development: forecasting the GHG emissions from proposed developments. Recently developed forecasting methods make inconsistent assumptions about the effect of a development on regional growth. We identify five regional growth assumptions which vary in terms of how a proposed development will affect i) construction and occupancy of similar developments elsewhere in a region and ii) potential relocation of the initial activities that occur on-site before the project is built. We examine a proposed mixed-use development to illustrate the effects of the growth assumptions on emissions estimates. We close with recommendations for selecting a regional growth assumption and lessons learned for the design of guidelines for forecasting regional GHG emissions from project-level development.
