Technology of Our Project Community 2050 is utilizing a urban growth mod­eling tools that were developed  to improve the capacity for greater analysis of resources and development constraints in planning. With the models, a range of environmental resources can be considered alongside other constraints such as infra­structure capacities to predict what the future may look like. We can find out where development would be helpful and where it would be harmful to the public interest.  In order to model growth for the San Luis Obispo Region, we rely upon local data and input. Using each of the local general plans as the foundation, the models also incorporate resource information such as the location of important farmland, economic information such as the location of employment, and social information such as the mix of housing types to match a range of income levels.  Once complete, the model will reveal to all of us - community members, government officials, and other stakeholders - how some of our natural resource, financial, and other finite resources will be impacted.
