It refers to the development of urban areas. For instance, it tries to avoid "urban sprawl" by concentrating development inside the established city limits. It tries to make transportation in the city more energy efficient, while cutting down on pollution. Basically it attempts to build cities with as little undesirable effects as possible on the surrounding country side and in the city itself.
I would presume that a smart growth legislator is one that supports smart growth.
