Why Does Land
Use Matter?

By the year 2030, San Diego will be
home to nearly 4 million people.
We need an additional 300,000
housing units to meet these needs.
How can we accommodate this
growth through smarter land use?

Nearly half of all greenhouse gas emissions
in San Diego County are from on-road
transportation.

San Diegans spend 100% more time in
traffic today than they did 15 years ago.

the farther a building is from an energy source,
the more energy is wasted along the way. (

transmission and transport,
and preserving natural areas.

Compact growth can boost economic
development by creating walkable,
business-friendly neighborhoods.

Less sprawl and more transportation
options result in fewer miles driven
—reducing traffic, fuel costs and
improving air quality.

Poor air quality is a public health cost:
$1,200 per person in Southern
California.

Facilitating healthy habits like walking
and biking improves public health.
