About this episode
Sara Bronin is one of the world experts on zoning. It’s the kind of thing that really rivets people at cocktail parties, right? But in fact, Bronin’s new book about how zoning shapes our lives is like a secret history of how cities came to look the way they do — and a blueprint for the way they can get better. And because she lives in Georgetown, it’s full of examples from D.C. that you don’t have to be an urbanism nerd to understand.
