ReVision Seattle

Mayor Katie Wilson’s One Seattle Plan 2.0, “Taller, Denser, Faster” to accelerate high density development that will affect every neighborhood in Seattle. In this second phase of the city’s long-range growth planning, zoning has been guided exclusively by representatives from the builders and development sector and the groups that advocate on their behalf. They advocate for density as the cure for inequality and high housing costs as they all but write the policies that will shape Seattle for decades to come.

Our keynote speaker is Patrick Condon, whose groundbreaking book on housing, Broken City: Land Speculation, Inequality, and Urban Crisis, explains how cities deal with the pressures of growth, while expanding affordable housing. Market-driven density, when purely guided by the principles of trickle down economics, lead to gentrification, displacement, and the erasure of nature from the urban environment.There are other paths.

Join us to learn how Seattle can grow sustainably and equitably, welcoming families, seniors, and all levels of income, while maintaining its environmental sustainability for a long-term future. The evening’s presentation will update Seattle residents on where the Comprehensive Plan stands now, and what is being planned by the city, and ways to connect with advocates for thoughtful growth.
