Instead of relying on rigid zoning regulations to achieve a static, singular vision of the future, build change into your city's zoning code through dynamic zoning. This approach recognizes that cities and their zoning districts can and should change in appropriate ways. Learn three distinct dynamic zoning approaches in this issue of Zoning Practice. See how applying dynamic zoning can provide a framework for predictable change, implement scenario planning more directly, and keep data-driven decision-making at the core of planning. Explore more agile planning methods at NPC22.
