APA Hosting Webinar on Housing Diversity

Planning & Law Division, in partnership with APA Learn, is hosting an
upcoming webinar on July 30, 2020, called “Housing for Diversity: Ending
Segregation Through Zoning.” Information about the webinar and registration is
below:
Thursday, July 30, 2020
12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. CT
In 1974, the Supreme Court declared it
constitutional for a locality to limit zoning districts to detached homes
occupied by traditional, blood-related families. Now, nearly 50 years later, the viability and
fairness of that ruling is debatable as the effects of race-, ethnic-, and
income-segregated housing are laid bare in recent national events, increasing
numbers of people choose nontraditional living arrangements, sharing economy
platforms such as AirBnB offer seemingly unlimited opportunities for communal
living, and traditional forms of housing are becoming increasingly unaffordable
for many people. This panel of legal and
policy experts will address the ways in which local governments can and should
be modernizing zoning regulations to accommodate inclusion and modern living
arrangements, with an eye toward achieving greater access to and fairness in
housing. In addition to developing
policy solutions, speakers will offer specific recommendations for code drafting
and other regulatory programs.
