Zoning and Equity
Location: Virtual
Speaker(s): Sara Bronin, Amy Dain, Lydia Edwards, Harley Etienne
Historically, zoning laws have restricted affordable housing and perpetuated the racial wealth gap. This event will explore innovative approaches by state and local governments to achieve greater housing equity across communities. Is zoning the most effective solution to remedy lack of access to affordable housing? What is the best approach to remedy years of discriminatory impact?
