Introduction
This webinar explores how land use planning and zoning reform can enhance resilience, promote sustainability, and support the economic viability of our communities.
Description
Dr. Phil Berke from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill presents frameworks for integrating climate risk reduction into local land use strategies. He demonstrates how proactive planning can reduce hazard exposure and strengthen long-term community safety. Erik Kronberg from Kronberg Urbanists + Architects examines how outdated zoning practices, especially single-family zoning, limit housing flexibility, reduce economic efficiency, and constrain the potential for sustainable urban growth. Together, the speakers provide practical insights into how planning and policy decisions influence the physical, environmental, and financial outcomes of the built environment. This session is ideal for architects, planners, and urban designers focused on long-term community resilience and sustainable development.

Evaluate the economic impacts of zoning constraints on development patterns and housing delivery.
Identify planning and zoning tools that support hazard mitigation and resource-efficient design.
