What happens when a city relaxes its zoning rules? A new e61 working paper released earlier this week answers this question using a natural experiment in the Adelaide council of Campbelltown. In this week’s plus61, authors Matthew Maltman (@1finaleffort) and Theo Gibbons (@geothibbons) explain why the reforms had such a large effect and what that means for housing policy.

🚨🚨NEW HOUSING RESEARCH 🚨🚨

When we relax planning restrictions that ban density, do we get new housing? (Spoiler: yes)

Why do some reforms work but not others?

How does this new supply impact our cities?

A new paper from @1finaleffort, Theo Gibbons and I gives us answers.
