Impact of Rent Control and Inclusionary Zoning on Housing Projects

The chapter explores the impact of factors like building density, mixed-use, climate goals, rent control, and inclusionary zoning on public support for housing projects, highlighting differences based on factors like project proximity. It delves into the selfish motivations behind rent control, comparing it to inclusionary zoning and discussing city-wide policies inspired by discussions in Berlin. The chapter also examines the variations of rent control across European cities, the role of public participation in project development, and the relationship between building density, public consent, and democracy in the planning process.
