How can we build more homes while ensuring neighborhood-friendly buildings and great public spaces? Emerging approaches to zoning offer simpler rules for creating great places, while reducing delay, uncertainty, and the cost of new housing.
On November 18th, we were joined by experts to discuss what’s happening nationally and how this can help DC shape our public realm and lower barriers to creating new homes and businesses that help neighborhoods thrive.
Speakers:
Ellen McCarthy, Urban and Regional Planning, Georgetown University (Moderator)
