The countdown continues...
We find ourselves at Number 12...
Urban Growth
The Language
"Encourage development in urban areas where adequate public facilities and services exist or can be provided in an efficient manner."
The Score
Priority Index: 23
The Reason
This goal isn't going to come into play in all jurisdictions, since all jurisdictions aren't urban. However, in those jurisdictions where it is in play, it will directly affect every local citizen.
Like most of the goals in this segment of the countdown, this goal is conspicuously lack of imperative language. The word "encourage" strikes again.
I was expecting this one to have fared better.
Stay tuned for number 11, as the countdown continues...
