As zoning approaches it’s 100th anniversary, time for seismic shifts. Cities are scrapping apartment bans, dropping minimum lot sizes, & eliminating parking requirements. Just received this thought provoking book by @mnolangray that suggests we should scrap #zoning altogether.

[Strong Towns @StrongTowns]

A common NIMBY argument is "the residents should decide what happens in our community." Which residents? Those who want to build ADUs, ACUs, etc.? Or just the residents who agree to change nothing? We need to expand our definition of community involvement.

@brent_bellamy I can't think of any other city that does not have city sponsored tools (TIF, tax credits, density bonus, etc...) to support thoughtful redevelopment that includes heritage. Literally no other city.

A view like no other! literally on top of ‘The Arc’ Student Housing tower Pembina & Bison. This project will benefit so many! Thanks Henry! You’re a spectacular City building partner & home town champion! Many great partnerships! @LedcorGroup @jwinUP #ARK #CampusSuites

Province of Manitoba announces it will use Tax Increment Financing as a tool to stimulate the economy coming out of the pandemic. The first project is a $28 million incentive to the Portage Place Mall redevelopment. Great to see a focus on downtown. https://t.co/PL3OsP12X4

Global News has learned a $400-M retrofit is planned for Portage Place with new shopping, office spaces and two 20-storey rental residential towers planned for the downtown mall. Read exclusive details and see photos of the plans here.

"There's absolutely no doubt that shopping malls are the low-hanging fruit for suburban rethinking, & we badly need to rethink the suburbs. There are all sorts of reasons why we should want these malls to transform." — ⁦@BrentToderian⁩ in @CBC https://t.co/A3AjYcBhlM

Staff are conducting a land economics study to better inform planning policy, including the mid-rise and tall building policies going forward. #ygkc

[Brent Toderian @BrentToderian]

A SERIOUS question for city planners in the #ClimateCrisis era: what weight do we continue to give existing context/character when considering the yes/no & design of new density & use-mix, when the context we have is part of the cause of #ClimateChange (low density & single use)?

@brent_bellamy @sandralorange You had me until this comment. Shoe string? No efficiencies to be found? There are lots of choices. Density is clearly the easiest yet seems to be the hardest for our decision makers. Time for all of them to do the math.

[Brent Bellamy @brent_bellamy]

Headlines dominating Winnipeg news - transit cuts, closing fire stations, libraries, pools, arenas.
Like it or not, our city’s low density sprawling layout is a major reason for this. 70% of the city’s budget is affected by distance.
