Smart Growth Network Roundtable: Capacity Building and Collaboration

In April 2024, the Smart Growth Network convened to learn and discuss on the theme Capacity Building and Collaboration. The Environmental Protection Agency hosted the meeting, which featured federal speakers from EPA, Department of Transportation, and Department of Housing and Urban Development. The agencies shared about capacity building and funding opportunities from across the U.S. government, including the HUD Thriving Communities program, the DOT Thriving Communities program, and the EPA Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund program. After the roundtable, meeting participants used an interactive mapping tool to identify opportunities for collaboration with partners across the United States, and breakout sessions were organized by topic and geography. More than 50 participants joined the meeting in person and virtually.
