As an urban planner with a passion for sustainable development, I focus on creating affordable housing solutions in densely populated cities. My work involves rethinking traditional infrastructure, like parking requirements, to free up land for more residential spaces. I’ve seen firsthand how reducing parking mandates can lower construction costs and increase housing availability, especially in areas with robust public transit systems.

I draw inspiration from successful reforms in cities like Minneapolis and San Francisco, where such changes have led to significant reductions in housing costs. However, I’m also mindful of the risks—without balanced planning, these reforms can lead to parking chaos or increased traffic congestion. My approach emphasizes the need for alternative solutions, such as shared parking zones and improved public transportation, to ensure these changes benefit communities long-term.
