How Zoning Codes Shape Our Cities

Have you ever wondered how cities are planned and designed? It's not just about drawing roads and placing buildings. There are a lot of factors that go into creating a livable and sustainable city, and one of the most important is zoning codes.

Zoning codes are regulations that control how land can be used in a particular area. They determine things like what kind of buildings can be built, how tall they can be, and how much space they must have between them. Zoning codes also play a big role in shaping the density of a city, which is the number of people who live in a given area.

In this SchoolTube video, Dave Amos and the team at Nebula Studios explore how zoning codes affect the way our cities look and feel. They take a close look at how changing a few key parameters in zoning codes can have a big impact on things like residential density in the suburbs. They also discuss the importance of zoning codes in creating livable and sustainable cities.
