Zoning Reform for the State of Massachusetts
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerState legislators have begun utilizing zoning reform to improve quality of life by increasing walkability, public transportation, mixed-use areas and smart growth. The goal of this project was to assist Senator Chandler in assessing effective ways to utilize zoning reform to promote a higher quality of life for Massachusetts residents. We conducted interviews and extensive research in order to characterize the nature of zoning reforms across the United States. We’ve recommend that zoning reform in Massachusetts should streamline the current rezoning process and address key elements such as walkability, public transportation, and affordable housing. Our team also created a zoning model to be implemented in Worcester to highlight the positive effects that zoning can have on the public.
