Joe Molinaro from the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) provides an overview of findings from NAR's 2011 national preference survey. Shyam Kannan from RCLCo explores the details of the NAR survey using segmentation analysis focusing on Americans' preferences for transit oriented developments and walkable communities. Gail Meakins from the University of Utah reports on findings from the nation's largest survey of Americans' attitudes toward smart growth communities conducted by Porter-Novelli with special reference to walking and biking to work and for errands, and transit accessibility. Arthur C. Nelson, also from the University of Utah, reviews three sub-national surveys on preference for TODs and transit accessibility including California, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, and western Texas, and synthesize all surveys for their smart growth implications. Special attention is given to under-served markets and equity.
