Can Zoning Laws Save Our Heritage or Are They Just Clearing the Way for Developers?

In this episode of The Urbanist’s Lens, hosts Drew and Clark explore the complexities of zoning laws and heritage preservation amid rapid urban development. Focusing on the recent approval of an 11-storey mixed-use building on the historic North Shore Gas Co. site in Crows Nest, they examine the tensions between conservation efforts and the push for modernization. Through expert insights and case studies, they discuss how zoning regulations shape urban landscapes, the role of heritage overlays, and the challenges of balancing economic growth with cultural preservation. The episode also delves into strategies that cities can adopt to safeguard historic sites while fostering sustainable development.
