"Only 17 percent of people living in golf course communities play golf more than once a year. Why not grow food?"
Andrés Duany first posed that question, and now the innovative thinkers at
Hart Howerton are making it happen in a remarkable project that combines new development, existing agriculture, and new models of public/private collaboration. The answer turns out to be an intriguing glimpse into a possible future of life in America.
Combining new development with existing agriculture brings promise as well as pitfalls. The team behind Solano County’s Middle Green Valley Specific Plan and its successful public/private partnership will highlight lessons learned for anyone interested in the revitalization of local agriculture — built upon complementary development models for landowners, developers, designers, land use specialists, regional agencies, and financial institutions.
