Zoning is an extraordinarily powerful tool to guide our communities toward the futures we say we want in our comprehensive plans. But it is often misused in ways that undermine the types of development we say we want.
The presenter's recent book, An Even Better Way to Zone, identifies specific ways in which we misunderstand how zoning works, leading to bad development outcomes. More importantly, it explains how to change current zoning codes to address three key needs facing most communities: more affordable housing, more sustainable development, and zoning outcomes that do not systematically undermine historically disadvantaged and vulnerable communities. Learn how to draft each of those changes to encourage redevelopment and reuse of existing buildings and lands instead of low-density, outward growth. Additionally, explore equally important changes in zoning procedures and maps that are needed to achieve fairer, more affordable, and more sustainable communities. Closed Captioning
