How can housing in the future become more affordable, address climate change, promote diversity and make beautiful communities with a strong sense of place? The City of Minneapolis recently adopted a bold new comprehensive plan that will transform the way the housing in the city will grow in the future. The plan allows the development of tri-plex housing citywide, eliminates minimum parking requirements, and allows more high-density housing along transportation corridors. Participate in an innovative discussion from national leaders in housing planning and development on big ideas to achieve this vision.
