Abstract
As the population grows, planners and politicians must decide how to direct growth. This thesis analyzes how growth management can control land use and development using Loudoun County, Virginia, as a case study. By looking at how Loudoun County has implemented growth management policies, a case can be made for why governments should look to growth management to manage growth pressures. This thesis looks at the past and present growth management policies in Loudoun County and analyzes the County’s 2019 Comprehensive Plan.
