🚗🏙️ American cities are embracing #parking reform, with 58 communities eliminating mandatory parking requirements by the end of 2023. This trend spans diverse locations, from major metropolises to small towns, driven primarily by #housing supply concerns. State-level policies and local government buy-in are proving crucial for success. As this reform spreads, it could reshape urban development and housing #affordability.

City of Yes for Housing Opportunity proposes lifting parking mandates for new housing to reduce costs and boost production, while preserving parking options where needed. This supports denser, walkable communities and aligns with other initiatives like Town Center Zoning and Transit-Oriented Development, reducing land use for parking and enhancing urban development. #cityofyes #developmentsites #developmentsiteadvisors #nyc #weknowzoning

What an enjoyable and thought-provoking strategy discussion with county and city officials this past week, delving into the realm of developmental initiatives, notably exploring accessory dwelling units and high-density housing rezoning. These discussions underscored the paramount importance of balancing innovation with foundational necessities for sustainable urban growth. I often invoke what I term "Maslow’s Hierarchy of a City." Analogous to Maslow's psychological hierarchy of needs, this framework underscores the significance of addressing fundamental municipal elements before embarking on transformative endeavors. Just as Maslow emphasized physiological needs as the cornerstone of human well-being, in urban planning, focusing on utilities and public works stands as the bedrock for community vitality. Bottom line, you have to have a very good assessment of the foundational infrastructure before increasing the demands on life’s most basic requirements such as water and power. #urbanplanning #strategicfocus #ICMA
