Land Use
Land use describes where we live, work and play. In the Bay Area, issues of urban sprawl, transportation, housing, and pollution and environmental conservation all play a role in how local governments develop and preserve land.
ABAG, working in collaboration with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), provides a regional perspective. Many of our programs involve collaboration with ABAG members, community leaders, policy makers and planners.
