Explore how our daily spaces—such as parks, transit stations, and roads—are shaped by zoning laws and land use regulations. Officials from the Metropolitan Planning Council are launching a three-phase zoning and land use assessment project in Chicago’s Belmont Cragin neighborhood, focusing on equity, sustainability, and public health. This diverse community, home to many displaced individuals, underscores the need for meaningful public involvement in zoning policy. By using data and rigorous research, the project aims to reveal zoning’s tangible effects on communities and pave the way for informed, collaborative policymaking.
