About:

Density resistant neighbors can have a chilling effect on new housing development, even if the density increases are modest and “around the edges.” This workshop provides step by step guidance for navigating the “hot seat” of public input to anyone responsible for project approval. It includes new research on public participation in development review, including a first-ever dive into the data of who participates and why and presents strategies for laying the groundwork for future successful projects.
