Land Use Revenue for Cities

What’s happening? Meet the  The Rethinking Revenue initiative, a project with national planning association and municipal association. They say data supports changing land use regulations to allow for more municipal revenue.

Why is this important? Recommendations are to move away from traditional development practices, provide decision makers maps with revenue per acre, build up, and “Create regulation incentives that boost revenue-positive land uses.”

How will this be important? Recommend removing subsidies for unsustainable building practices.
