Zoning Policy is Health Policy

The downstream effects of exclusionary, low-density residential
zoning on health and health equity should make scholars and
policy makers focus on reforming zoning to make housing more
plentiful and affordable in healthy neighborhoods.


Michael Lens, associate professor of Urban Planning and Public
Policy and associate faculty director of the Lewis Center for
Regional Policy Studies at the University of California Los
Angeles, recently shared his perspective on the topic in a Health
Policy Brief published last month.


On today's episode of Health Affairs This Week, Lens joins Health
Affairs Deputy Editor of Special Content Rob Lott to discuss his
research and how low-density zoning relates to health and health
equity.
