In this special episode, Maryland REALTORS CEO, Chuck Kasky, Esq., is joined by urban planner and author of Arbitrary Lines, M. Nolan Gray, to discuss the history of regulatory zoning laws, missing middle housing, city density and policies that continue to have tremendous impacts on local economies.
M. Nolan Gray is a professional city planner and an expert in urban land-use regulation. He is currently completing a Ph.D. in urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles. Gray previously worked on the front lines of zoning as a planner in New York City.
M. Nolan Gray provides historical context on where urban landscapes find themselves today in regards to the housing crisis and how policy has historically limited housing growth. However in contrast, he provides examples of successful policy changes that have enabled the expansion of housing options for diverse populations through creative land use and re-evaluation of dated policies.
