This document discusses trends shaping the future of zoning. It summarizes key points from a presentation by Neal LaMontagne at the CIP Infuse 2013 conference in Vancouver. The presentation outlines 8 trends that will influence the future of zoning: 1) zoning will focus more on performance metrics; 2) zoning will aim to increase public value through amenities; 3) zoning will better integrate private and public realms; 4) zoning will become more social and participatory; 5) zoning will allow development to "jump the curb" and coordinate public and private spaces; 6) zoning will be adaptive and responsive to changing conditions; 7) zoning will be based more on principles than rigid rules; and 8) new technologies will enable more flexible and

Ever since Richard Florida published The Rise of the Creative Class, back in 2002, urban planners have been hot to find the secret key to unleashing innovation (and its attendant jobs) in their cities. Is it all about attracting gays (perhaps Floridas most newsworthy prescription at the time. What a difference a decade makes!)? Artists? Techies? And, more importantly, if a city doesnt already have a home-base of such creatives," what can city fathers do to attract it? Joi Ito, the director of MITs famed Media Lab, has a different idea: Find what talent already exists in your city, the more iconoclastic the better, and then nurture it without 284 295 Find your own weirdos, and figure out how to amplify them.

Ever since Richard Florida published The Rise of the Creative Class, back in 2002, urban planners have been hot to find the secret key to unleashing innovation (and its attendant jobs) in their cities. Is it all about attracting gays (perhaps Floridas most newsworthy prescription at the time. What a difference a decade makes!)? Artists? Techies? And, more importantly, if a city doesnt already have a home-base of such creatives," what can city fathers do to attract it? Joi Ito, the director of MITs famed Media Lab, has a different idea: Find what talent already exists in your city, the more iconoclastic the better, and then nurture it without 284 295 Find your own weirdos, and figure out how to amplify them.
