Webinar | Wednesday, May 28, 10:00 – 11:00 am PT

Policymakers increasingly focus on enabling housing growth in communities where people can accomplish their daily activities with less need to drive. In some states, this policy focus spans decades. But have we made progress?

Policy leaders from places showing progress in building housing in walkable neighborhoods discussed the implications for housing and climate policy.

Panelists included:

  • Kea Wilson, Senior Editor, Streetsblog USA (Moderator)
  • Reid Ewing, PhD, Distinguished Professor of City and Metropolitan Planning, University of Utah
  • Miguel Moravec, Senior Associate with the U.S. Program, RMI
