Abstract

Many communities are implementing smart growth initiatives. Smart growth is about helping every town and city become a more economically prosperous, more socially equitable, and more environmentally sustainable place to live in. This task is more important than ever because the world is rapidly urbanizing. Therefore, it is crucial to make it clear how to implement smart growth theories effectively into city design around the world. We develop a model for the task, with the major goal of measuring the success of smart growth of a city. To begin with, six factors are selected from the aspects of economy, social equity and environment. They are traffic saturation degree, average GDP, housing ownership rate, employment rate, average green area and density of building. Then we successfully finger out the weight vector of them by using AHP. Based on the ranking vector we designed by fuzzy composite operation, we can obtain the comprehensive evaluation value. In order to prove the accuracy of our evaluation system, the model testing is also made. Taking Bellevue as example, the result corresponds to the truth. It indicates that our evaluation system is useful and its results are convincing and realistic.
