Envision Central Texas is committed to assisting cities, counties, planning commissions, private sector representatives, public entities and communities throughout our region plan for the future in ways that will help preserve and enhance our natural resources, economic vitality, social equity, and overall quality of living. The Quality Growth Toolbox offers a collection of resources, models, best practices and other tools designed to assist communities as they plan for growth and implement their vision.

This is a BETA version of the quality growth implementation expert system. We hope all Texas planners and design professionals will help us improve and refine this on-line system to make it of great use for all. This can be accomplished in one of two ways. First, we invite you to make use of the expert system and give us constructive feedback on the parts that do and do not work for you. (note: you must be a registered user to provide feedback , click here to register) Second, we ask all design professionals and communities to share their reports and studies on any of the quality growth implementation tools and technique listed in the system, so we can keep the resource pages up to date and useful for all. We have an on-line submission form if you wish to share a web link, study (e.g., a pdf file) or other material you wish to make us aware of.

It will take a collaborative effort on the part of all to help us realize the full potential of this on-line quality growth expert system. We thank you in advance for kind assistance and support.

The Quality Growth Tool Box is a partnership of Envision Central Texas, The University of Texas School of Architecture and Center for Sustainable Development, and The University of Texas Center for Transportation Research.
