Minneapolis made national headlines in 2019 for being the first U.S. city to eliminate single-family zoning. But what led to this landmark zoning reform, how did the city implement these changes, and what have been the results?
This month's PAS Memo provides a behind-the-scenes look at the Minneapolis 2040 comprehensive planning process, revealing how the city's housing crisis, the historical context of racist housing policies, and innovative community engagement helped planners tackle the challenge of racial equity. Learn about the tools Minneapolis is using to implement its approach and glean action steps that you can adapt to your own community and planning practice. |
