  • Great topics, even better discussions

    I turn to this podcast on my commute. I appreciate that it helps me dig into content on a topic with the time I have, then decide if I’d like to read the whole book later. The hosts are great at posing the questions in a way that planners from any city can take something of value from the conversation. Highly recommend that you add this to your rotation!

  • Excellent

    This is show has been an awesome resource studying for the AICP exam and on planning in general, defs recommend. The work put into it is much appreciated!! I do wish the episode titles and notes were more clear about the book/ author/ person being interviewed. That would help for quick reference and also help reach a wider audience.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

An Even Better Way to Zone
Q: So what is the negative trifecta and how can cities avoid such lose-lose-lose outcomes when it comes to zoning procedures?
The negative trifecta refers to time, cost, and uncertainty in approvals; when these rise, innovative and affordable projects walk away, harming affordability, sustainability, and equity, so cities should simplify processes, reduce discretionary hurdles, and enable staff to approve reasonable adjustments without endless hearings.
An Even Better Way to Zone
Q: Speaking of, how have our past practices like planning for development as it could be, not as land actually is, or as you say in the book, a pure form of planning created some of these zoning flaws that we were talking about?
Past practices treated redevelopment as if it were planning for raw land, leading to flawed zoning since infill and redevelopment require flexibility and a deeper understanding of site constraints; the discussion emphasizes moving away from inflexibility and toward governance that accounts for reuse and realistic site conditions.
An Even Better Way to Zone
Q: Can you give an overview of how the books differ and what prompted you to write the follow up?
The two books are very different because the new one is written almost two decades later, reflecting the author's further experience with zoning projects; it narrows focus to four substantive topics—affordable housing, sustainable development, fairer zoning, and outcomes for the disadvantaged—and emphasizes redevelopment and reuse rather than blanket zoning across a city.
Why Nothing Works
Q: Starting off, can you give the background of progressivism and how it started?
Progressivism began as a response to the loss of local agency caused by expanding rail networks and large private interests; it sought to balance power between big public institutions and smaller local actors through a push for both regulatory oversight and public participation, with a debate between Brandeisian smallness and big government tools.
Messy Cities
Q: What role do you think planners can have in supporting the cultivation of creating these messy cities that allow everyone to thrive?
Planners should lead with inquiry, asking questions about what a good life looks like for everyone and ensuring that planning practices support community needs without suppressing diverse expressions of urban life.
