We often look at how to improve streets for walkability, but how can we also improve land-use policies and practices to bring the benefits of walkability to more people?
Quite a lot actually! Join Cary Westerbeck, architect, advocate, and infill developer, and Mike McGinn, advocate, lawyer, and former Seattle mayor, to learn the best land-use changes a community can make that, when paired with safe street design, create walkable places for all.
Webinar Panelists:
Cary Westerbeck — Architect, Advocate, Infill Developer
Mike McGinn — Advocate, Lawyer, and Former Seattle Mayor
Attendees Will Learn:Â
How land use and walkability are connected
What land-use indicators best support walkability
What specific land-use policies make places less walkable, or prevent access to walkable places
