Great Communities (greatcommunities.org) is a San Francisco Bay area nonprofit dedicated to sustainable planning and development. They are especially focused on reducing the need for automobile transportation at the local, regional, and state levels.

Quoted: The Bay Area has an incredible opportunity to fundamentally shift growth to be more equitable and sustainable. We can redirect growth away from natural areas and working farms, and instead reinvest in our existing communities, many of which have been ignored for too long. We can build homes that provide choices so that all residents, at every income level, can find great communities to live, work, and play: communities with access to good jobs, schools, parks, transportation, shopping, and other necessities.
