[MassHistPres] Model communities in dealing with secondary growth

[Joshua Dorin]

Does anyone know of municipalities that have successfully developed a
method for handling secondary growth (i.e., there is no more undeveloped
land available and all subsequent development is through redevelopment of
properties)?

I imagine that any such method would incorporate a demolition review
process as well as tight controls on new construction through local zoning
regulations and construction review panels (separate from local historic
district commissions).

This could include towns and cities in Massachusetts or nationwide,
preferably in affluent regions where demand for land is high.
