Zone In on our Future!

City of Columbus

Zone In on our future!

 

Columbus is growing like never before. By 2050, Central Ohio is expected to grow by 1 million new residents. We know we need to think about things differently – and act now.

 

As Columbus looks forward, we have an opportunity to plan for and guide an equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future for all our residents. One tool to support equitable growth is Columbus’ zoning code. The City of Columbus is embarking on an effort – Zone in Columbus – to modernize our code and better reflect our community’s needs and opportunities for housing, transportation, and equitable development. 

 

The City of Columbus has partnered with the YWCA of Columbus to host Undesign the Redline, an interactive exhibit that explores the history of structural racism through urban planning and its long-term impacts. We invite you to explore this exhibit with your neighbors to learn more about our history, share your own stories, and help us invent a new future for Columbus where all our neighbors, businesses, and communities thrive. We hope you can attend one of the following community events or visit the display for a self-guided tour while it travels through Columbus neighborhoods!
