Tysons Corner embraces "smart growth" plan
Planners and developers have a vision to transform the Tysons Corner, Va., sprawl of shopping malls, office towers and car dealers into a shining example of "smart growth" by 2050. Located 13 miles from downtown Washington, D.C., Tysons Corner plans to build high-rise apartments, new transit stations and urban parks to complement the country's 10th-largest mall. "Tysons Corner can become a textbook example of how to turn an absolute planning catastrophe into a textbook example of ecologically sensible, sustainable architecture," said architect Doug Carter.
