What is Market Urbanism?
Market urbanism advocates for a free market approach to city policies, aiming to make housing more abundant and affordable. It focuses on reducing regulations and zoning restrictions that hinder housing development in high-demand areas, promoting denser and more diverse housing options for consumers. By incorporating free market principles in urban planning, market urbanism aims to address the housing crisis by advocating for less government intervention and more private enterprise involvement in city development.
