Everywhere, Signs of Demise for the Planning Status Quo

In these cities, affordable housing, missing middle housing, inclusionary zoning, transit oriented development, accessory dwelling units, and a mix of uses are valued over exclusionary zoning, euclidean zoning, greenfield development, parking requirements, and car-oriented master planning. New density, new building heights, and new incentives for transit oriented development and affordable housing are the orders of the day.

2019 might be the year that urban planning idealism is given a chance to overthrow the status quo.
