Inclusionary zoning case studies

Inclusionary zoning case studies examine policies requiring or encouraging developers to include affordable housing within new or significantly renovated projects. For example, a city might mandate that 10-15% of new apartments are affordable for low- to moderate-income residents. These policies aim to promote economic diversity and reduce housing disparities. Case studies highlight different approaches, successes, and challenges; some cities have effectively increased affordable housing, while others face resistance from developers or market impacts. Overall, they illustrate how zoning laws can be strategic tools for fostering equitable, diverse communities.
