Why Is Japanese Zoning More Liberal Than US Zoning? - Market Urbanism<http://marketurbanism.com/2019/03/19/why-is-japanese-zoning-more-liberal-than-us-zoning/>
Over the past few years, Japanese zoning has become popular among YIMBYs thanks to a classic blog post by Urban kchoze. It’s easy to see why: Japanese zoning is relatively liberal, with few bulk and density controls, limited use segregation, and no regulatory distinction between apartments and ...

 Mapping gentrification

There’s no single definition for gentrification, and no one way to measure it. Income, education levels, neighborhood amenities, and housing costs are all factors. But for many of us, gentrification is more a know-it-when-you-see-it situation.

That’s part of the reason a mapping project by MIT featured in MapLab two weeks ago<http://links.e.theatlantic.com/ctt?kn=21&ms=MjEyMTU4OTUS1&r=MzEwMTU3NTQ4NzkyS0&b=0&j=MTQ2MTI0ODI2OQS2&mt=1&rt=0> was so striking. By using novel data sets to compare the types of people spending time in local restaurants and shops, it offers a closer look at neighborhood change than normally is possible. That made me curious to hear from MapLab readers about other examples of mapping urban transformation, and you didn’t disappoint.

Paul Bindel wrote in offering a number of ideas, including Governing’s nice interactive map of gentrification in Denver<http://links.e.theatlantic.com/ctt?kn=44&ms=MjEyMTU4OTUS1&r=MzEwMTU3NTQ4NzkyS0&b=0&j=MTQ2MTI0ODI2OQS2&mt=1&rt=0>, which is based on changes in median income and home values.

Bernardo Loureiro pointed out a controversial project from a few years back, also from MIT,<http://links.e.theatlantic.com/ctt?kn=19&ms=MjEyMTU4OTUS1&r=MzEwMTU3NTQ4NzkyS0&b=0&j=MTQ2MTI0ODI2OQS2&mt=1&rt=0> that used Google Street View images to gauge how “safe” certain neighborhoods look compared to others. “In my opinion it turned out to be much more about people's perception of safety, which in turn is directly connected to gentrification and neighborhood change,” Loureiro wrote.

And Allison Lau wrote in offering a historical perspective on America’s capital city—“Mapping Segregation in Washington D.C<http://links.e.theatlantic.com/ctt?kn=7&ms=MjEyMTU4OTUS1&r=MzEwMTU3NTQ4NzkyS0&b=0&j=MTQ2MTI0ODI2OQS2&mt=1&rt=0>.,” an online project that looked at neighborhoods changed throughout the 20th century, on the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. “It reveals the impact of restrictive housing and redlining on race and urban gentrification in past and present day D.C.,” Lau wrote.
