Building Housing in Walkable Neighborhoods: Progress in U.S. Cities and States
Published On April 24, 2025
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?
This panel will present new Terner Center research analyzing historical patterns of housing development as they relate to present-day transportation patterns. Policy leaders from places showing progress in building housing in walkable neighborhoods will discuss the implications for housing and climate policy.
Terner Center Associate Research Director Zack Subin will present new research.

- 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
- Julia Reed, State Representative (D-36), Washington State House of Representatives
