Community Unit Concept Explained by City Planner
City Planner Kenneth Thompson outlines a community unit development concept as an alternative to rigid zoning.

The plan emphasizes cohesive ownership, open space, and adaptable design to improve housing affordability and variety while maintaining city aesthetics.
