Abstract

Local government leaders can promote transformative progress to foster change in their communities through policies. Cities in the United States are affected by complex and interconnected issues related to land use, transportation, waste management, and housing that have evolved to fulfill residents' needs. The housing good practices identified include overlay zones, adaptive reuse, and form-based code. The transportation good practices discussed are complete streets and leveraging ride sharing. In the case of waste management, the good practices are mandatory recycling and compositing ordinances and youth educational programs. Each of the good practices is associated with ethical considerations. Policy changes often result in inequitable outcomes, which can cause ethical concerns. There is a need for future researchers to assess the ethical considerations associated with the identified good practice policies. In essence, good practice policies positively impact local government functions concerning land use, transportation, waste management, and housing.
