Building Our City with Heather Worthington
Webinar--onlineConsider this: It is illegal on 75 percent of the residential land in many American cities to build anything other than a detached single-family home. Single-family zoning has recently come under scrutiny as cities grapple with a dire shortage of affordable housing. Often single-family zoning stands as the only impediment to denser, multi-family developments in “traditional” neighborhoods. Planners are now beginning to ask whether removing single-family zoning is essential in order to address our current affordable housing crisis. Join us for a virtual presentation with Heather Worthington, where she will examine the efforts that led to a seismic shift in Minneapolis zoning, as well as the challenges that remain.
