This is right out of the UN Agenda 21 playbook; i.e., talking about the environment, population growth, and confined  housing.  The goal is to have people in concentrated areas with stores, bike paths and services within walking distance or provided by the government.  The areas further out will be left to the wildlife.  

Of course, to keep us guessing, the acronyms and catch phrases are constantly being changed to such things as "sustainable development" "ICLEI", "The Grand Vision", "Place Making" and many more.  Our Representative in the various Gov't agencies are all to quick to grab the "free" money they think they are getting from the Fed or State.  It always comes with strings attached.

Unborn generations will be the ultimate losers.
