State, regional, and local governments all play a role in regulating the processes that govern the production of new housing. Their approaches have important ramifications for the housing supply and, by extension, the affordability of housing.

At this in-person event, experts from around the nation and within Minnesota will discuss changes made and lessons learned from different approaches to planning, zoning, and other policies that influence housing production.
