Abstract

Smart growth is about helping cities become economically prosperous, socially equitable, and environmentally sustainable place to live. The purpose of this paper is establishing a model to measure and compare the smart growth degree. Principle component analysis is a suitable method since the factors affecting the smart growth degree are complicated. These factors involve ten principles of smart growth and three E's of sustainability. Through selecting the principle components, I can simplify the method of evaluation at most. Then I choose Cleveland in US and Jiayuguan in China as research objects. According the model, I got the scores on each indicators about each cities, also got the final smart growth of each cities.
