Zoning Broke the City. Here’s How To Fix It.

One set of policies has burdened cities with debilitating housing shortages, stunted growth and innovation, persistent racial and economic segregation, and car-dependent development. Nolan Gray, author of the book Arbitrary Lines, will spotlight the problems with American zoning and propose a better path forward. You’ll learn the tangled history of zoning, how it’s been deployed, and why it stymies North American cities from addressing many of their problems. Gray will discuss short- and long-term solutions, and you’ll learn the many benefits you can unleash if you can get zoning changed in your town.
