This video, produced by the Center for Humane Studies, goes into more detail on the relationship between zoning and sustainability, economic development, and racism. Single-family zoning is discussed as a mechanism by which housing is made more scarce and, therefore, more expensive. The video also explores blight and urban renewal trends in the 1950s and the history of modernist trends of car-oriented development, single-family neighborhoods, and urban sprawl. Finally, the video introduces Jane Jacobs and people-centric urban design, mixed-use zoning, and Jacobs’ theory of “eyes on the street.”
