A Land-Use Audit for Walkability
Date and Time: Tuesday, January 27, 2026 | 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM Eastern Time | 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Central Time
Description: We often look at how to improve streets for walkability, but how can we also improve land-use policies and practices to bring the benefits of walkability to more people?
Quite a lot actually! Join Cary Westerbeck, architect, advocate, and infill developer, and Mike McGinn, advocate, lawyer, and former Seattle mayor, to learn the best land-use changes a community can make that, when paired with safe street design, create walkable places for all.
Attendees Will Learn:
- How land use and walkability are connected
- What land-use indicators best support walkability
- What specific land-use policies make places less walkable, or prevent access to walkable places
- Actionable steps in the land-use realm that state and local governments can take to improve walkability and health for their residents
