Although he suggests smart growth is a Soviet-era concept, it is more deeply rooted. Ebenezer Howard discussed the idea in 1885 England. Further back, cities were largely self sufficient and less reliant on imported resources. In a world of finite resources, the original Republicans' belief in conservation (Teddy Roosevelt) is essential for sustainability and future generations' prosperity. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2011/12/city-solutions/kunzig-text/1 If Mr. Beck is endorsing smart growth concepts in this piece then it is well-said.
