NIMBYism and YIMBYism: Navigating Community Stakeholders to Meet Housing Needs
Category
Housing/Residential
From NIMYism to YIMBYism, a region's ability to produce housing has been defined by the role of community advocacy. This session will explore the impact of advocacy and activism on housing development, from environmental review processes to community benefits agreements, using California as a case study, and how that influence is changing in the face of new pro-housing legislation. It will also provide insight into how to address and bridge community feedback in order to create more successful projects.
