Abstract

Nowadays, smart growth is popular around the world. This paper establishes an evaluation model for urban smart growth and a optimal decision model to provide the developing plan with the best strategy to develop cities meet the standards of three E's and ten principles. We build a three-layer evaluation model considering comprehensive factors of smart growth. We define smart growth as the first layer, the three E's as the second layer, and two trend parameters indexes for each E's as the third layer. The trend parameters are defined as the growth ratio of two factors (the ratio of GRDP growth rate and population growth rate, the ratio of population growth rate and urban area growth rate, the ratio of GRDP growth rate and urban area growth rate, the ratio of education funding growth rate and population growth rate, the ratio of public traffic capacity growth rate and population growth rate), which show the relative change speed of two factors. With the three E's indexes and standards we make, the smart growth rank table is obtained, which can rank a city's level of smart growth as "Utterly", "Nearly", "Transitionally", "Informally" and "Badly". In con-clusion, urban smart growth is a brilliant method that balances economy, environment and human well.
