Thriving Communities
This Is Your Georgia
In today’s world, protecting Georgia’s critical lands and habitats means more than just natural resource conservation; it also requires our built spaces – cities, towns and neighborhoods – grow and develop more sustainably.
The Bottom Line: Better planning helps the environment.
Georgia Conservancy works to foster smart, resilient, and sustainable development across the state, enabling communities to thrive while using fewer resources and disturbing less open space.
How We Support Georgia's Communities:
Blueprints for Successful Communities
Blueprints for Successful Communities, our community planning program, helps neighborhoods and local governments plan for future growth.
Housing Flexibility & Attainability
The Georgia Conservancy is helping to provide much-needed flexibility and options in housing affordability and diversity throughout Georgia.
Good Urbanism
Our Good Urbanism seminars teach planning professionals, government officials and neighborhood residents about the importance of sustainable growth.
Community Placemaking
Helping communities reimagine their public spaces through our involvement in the Georgia Economic Placemaking Collaborative, a multi-year placemaking curriculum program.
Since 1995, Georgia Conservancy has been working in communities large and small across Georgia to examine growth-related challenges and develop blueprints for sustainable and conservation-minded growth.
