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. Panelists will include policymakers from cities and states showing progress in building housing in walkable neighborhoods, as well as experts who will discuss implications for local and state housing and climate policy.
Terner Center Associate Research Director Zack Subin will present new Center research.
