Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Inclusionary housing email list launched

As a follow-up to an October conference on inclusionary zoning, PolicyLink has launched an e-mail discussion group to continue sharing information and strategies. The conference was sponsored by PolicyLink, Innovative Housing Institute, National Housing Conference, and Business and Professional People for the Public Interest. According to PolicyLink, inclusionary zoning policies in Boston, New York, San Diego, San Francisco, and hundreds of other cities have produced tens of thousands of units of affordable housing. The online discussion provides a way to learn from peers about how to develop inclusionary zoning strategies that balance community needs for affordable homes with the needs of developers to realize a return on investment. Participants will also get the latest news on inclusionary housing advances. For details on joining the discussion group as well as other PolicyLink resources on inclusionary zoning and affordable housing, click here.
