Lecture: Appealing for Local Control and Spatial Inequality: Reforming Governance and
October 10, 2024
Development Rationalities in Southern California presented by Alejandra Reyes. Several limitations have thwarted the implementation of California housing law for over fifty years. This research sheds light on the evolution of municipal-state relations at a period of reform by analyzing the contentious implementation of state housing law in Orange County, California, a region of concentrated affluence. Systemic privilege has historically allowed some jurisdictions to influence decision-making at higher levels, skewing housing policy and planning outcomes. Nonetheless, and despite contention between different government levels and localities, the leverage of reactionary local politics is weakening. State reforms, along increasingly diverse and mobilized constituents, are prompting slow but important policy change. This Zube Lecture is sponsored by the UMass Department of Landscape Architecture and Regional Planning.
