ABSTRACT
This chapter links the planning theoretical classification with the knowledge about growth management. Urban growth boundaries are among the most famous growth management tools, as they belong to the category of pioneer approaches in growth management. Development rights programs are based on the fact that property owners have certain rights. Urban development tiers provide more detail about the timing of new development than urban growth boundaries. Restricting the amount of growth that can occur in a community is one of the oldest growth management tools in use. Broad collaboration between planning practitioners and citizens about growth management is thus necessary to identify similar goals, interests, and solutions. Hand in hand with technological development, the monitoring of land markets is deemed 'an emerging subfield of urban growth management'. As the scope of sprawl does not take administrative boundaries into consideration, inter-jurisdictional cooperation is essential when it comes to growth management.
