How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It

Thursday, April 11 at 1:00 p.m.​​​​ ET

Participants of this live webinar are eligible for 1.5 AICP CM credits.

One of the hottest trends in U.S. cities right now, as reported by NPR, is “changing zoning rules to allow more housing.” Much of the U.S. is struggling with a lack of missing middle housing. Outdated and inequitable zoning regulations are some of the main reasons. 

In this webinar, M. Nolan Gray, the author of Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It, and Toccarra Nicole Thomas, AICP, the Director of Land Use and Development and Executive Director of Form-Based Codes Institute at Smart Growth America, will discuss zoning reforms and how to create more equitable and useful places to live.
