📃"Why urban densification ignores the social dimension of sustainability"

✍️ Gerber et al.

🔍The hybrid nature of #landpolicy, merging progressive and neoliberal elements, generates tensions in project implementation as different discourses and representations collide.

7/11 Smart land acquisition:

Cities like Vienna/Amsterdam use "right-to-buy" policies—first dibs when land goes up for sale.

Owning land = mandating affordable housing for 100+ years (vs Canada's typical 20-30 years).

Long-term thinking = long-term solutions.

@ezraklein @JerusalemDemsas It's very hard to get a housing-scarce city to allow more housing.

How hard? This week, @landpolicy published the longest thing I've ever written - a reported account of how Portland legalized 4 & 6plexes citywide.

So many ways it could have...

Escasez de agua en Bogotá ¿Cómo llegamos a este punto?

@landpolicy @elpaavo @MadelineKovacs @Bandana1 1) Show, don’t tell.

Never allow anyone to encounter a verbal description of the housing being legalized without also seeing a picture of an example.

We decided to tell this story (in partnership with @landpolicy) by looking at eight ways this project nearly died, but didn't.

If not for the smart & heroic actions of a bunch of passionate Portlanders at many different points, it'd be dead.

I did my best to tell their stories.

Thanks to @landpolicy for partnering with us to make these possible, to @elpaavo for input on them, and to @MadelineKovacs (a major source of these tips) for snapping the photo of @Bandana1 speaking on a "missing middle" walking tour.

So, a few of the tips...
