Land-Use Subcommittee
The purpose of the Land-Use Subcommittee is to develop future land-use scenarios based on assumptions about land use and transportation choices.
First, the committee will develop land-use maps that depict our current plans for future land uses. (See planned land-use maps)
Second, the committee will develop a map that shows future land-use practices that correspond with the more-adaptive scenario (see scenario discussion on the Regional Subcommittee page) that assumes the region will have a greater ability to adapt to the four fundamental forces affecting the region's future:
- Global climate change and growing resource scarcity
- Globalization of the economy and the desire for economic growth
- Technological changes
- Demographic changes
