Exploring the National Zoning Atlas

Presenter: Clancy McConnell, PhD
Date: 2024-05-17
Description
In this workshop, we will begin by reviewing the GIS and attribute data collection methods used by the UC Davis Center for Regional Change to build the California Zoning Atlas, the largest component of the National Zoning Atlas (NZA). Then, we will walk through how to use the NZA map viewer and compare jurisdictions within California and between states. We will conclude with an open discussion of policy implications, advocacy outcomes, ongoing challenges, and possible research questions. Attendees do not need to have any special software, and in-person attendees only need a tablet/laptop if they would like to explore the map viewer at their own pace or have their own screen during the workshop.
