Fixed infrastructure
such as roads, sewer and water lines, schools, and libraries
are necessary, but expensive, investments in community development.
New growth should build upon and continue to support existing
public investment. As one example in the Washington, D.C. area,
Metro Rail represents an investment of billions of dollars;
development around Metro stations should utilize and support
that investment through compact, mixed uses within walking distance
of those stations.
