Abstract

Edinburgh and Shenmu are chosen for plans of smart growth. We make it clear how their plans meet the smart growth principles. Using data in the period of plans (2011~2015), we calculate values of our metrics to simply analyze their success. Furthermore, we use mean value test (t test) to measure the overall performance from 2011 to 2015. In conclusion, Edinburgh's growth plan is more successful while Shenmu still has a long way to go.Next, we devise a general growth plan for both cities. A specific plan with 7 initiatives is also proposed for each city based on their own features. To forecast the performance of new plans, we choose cities with similar situation, Shenmu and Baotou, Edinburgh and Norway, and analyze their correlation by SPSS. Both Baotou and Norway implemented smart growth plan since 2006, so the smart growth data of Baotou and Norway can be used to forecast the performance of Shenmu and Edinburgh respectively. By comparing TGM under current plan and new plan in 2031, we find both two cities perform better with our new plans.
