2023 Regional Solutions: Zoning Reform for Housing Attainability

Are you passionate about addressing the housing crisis and eager to make a change? Join us for an enlightening in-person event at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan, Utah, USA! We are excited to present a captivating discussion on zoning reform for housing attainability.
 

In the United States, 75% of residential land in cities is exclusively zoned for single-family housing, contributing significantly to the escalating housing costs that burden many communities. It's time to rethink residential zoning and explore how we can leverage market forces to support the development of diverse housing types, making housing more attainable for all. This housing crisis is a regional challenge that demands a collective effort towards regional solutions. 

Join us for a morning keynote speech with the University of Utah's College of Architecture and Planning Dean Dr. Arnab Chakraborty to learn more about the national momentum for zoning reform and what's driving cities to change. The keynote will be followed by a special luncheon and Q&A with housing policy expert and journalist Jerusalem Demsas from The Atlantic. Following the luncheon, author and researcher Dr. Arthur C. Nelson will present on the mismatch between planning and zoning. 

Last, Dr. Chakraborty will join us for a panel discussion with Turner Bitton from SLC Neighbors for More Neighbors and Christine Richman from GSBS Architects. The panel will address constraints on zoning reform and identify solutions for cities looking to increase housing attainability for those in their communities. 

Enjoy the luncheon while networking with like-minded individuals who share your passion for housing attainability. 

This event promises to be a dynamic and informative gathering of experts, advocates, and community members determined to drive change in the housing sector. Zoning reform is not just a matter of policy; it's a shared responsibility and an opportunity for us to work together to make housing attainable for everyone. 

Don't miss this chance to be a part of the solution. Join us at the Viridian Event Center in West Jordan, Utah, for a day of enlightenment and collaboration. Together, we can unlock the future of housing attainability. 

Mark your calendar and be a part of the conversation that could reshape the future of housing in our community. We can't wait to see you there!
