Can you explain inclusionary zoning?

Inclusionary zoning requires a percentage of new housing developments to be affordable for low- to moderate-income residents. This helps create diverse communities.

What is mixed-use development?

Mixed-use development combines residential, commercial, and sometimes industrial spaces in one area, promoting walkability and reducing the need for cars.

How do form-based codes work?

Form-based codes focus on the physical form of buildings and public spaces rather than land use, encouraging a specific character and design in neighborhoods.

What are the benefits of these alternatives?

These alternatives can promote affordable housing, enhance community diversity, and improve urban design, leading to more vibrant and sustainable neighborhoods.
