Abstract
Using MD Property View database on 15 counties in Maryland in the U.S., this study attempts to explore the estimation process on the housing development capacity under the Maryland's urban growth management policy known as the Smart Growth Initiatives. This study also seeks to draw the implications of the estimated development capacity by individual counties on successful implementation of the urban growth management policy. The finding shows that this region has land for residential use enough to accommodate growth for the next 30 years. However, contrary to the goal of the Smart Growth Initiatives, a majority of development capacity is located not only outside the Priority Funding Area designated by the Smart Growth Initiatives but also at counties that are located far away from the major metropolitan area. In addressing this problem, the state does not need to either abolish or immediately expand the Priority Funding Area. Rather, the state requires local governments to include housing elements in their comprehensive planning, to provide periodic estimates on housing and employment capacity, and to establish and manage database on the location and the capacity of developable land.
