How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It

In cities such as Minneapolis, MN, Fayetteville, NC, and Hartford, CT, key pillars of traditional zoning are being challenged with apartment bans being removed, minimum lot sizes dropping, and off-street parking requirements disappearing altogether.

Planner M. Nolan Gray argues that America needs to move beyond zoning to create more affordable, vibrant, equitable, and sustainable communities.
