Inclusionary Zoning in Atlanta: Affordability Gaps & Policy Effectiveness
Skills & Tools
GIS, R, Census & ACS Data Analysis, Affordability Gap Modeling, Policy Analysis, Copywriting, InDesign, Illustrator
About
This project served as my master’s capstone paper and examined whether Atlanta’s voluntary inclusionary zoning (IZ) policies meaningfully address the city’s affordability crisis, particularly for renters earning below 50% of Area Median Income (AMI). Using a combination of spatial analysis, demographic data, and policy evaluation, the study assessed how well IZ production aligns with documented housing need across Atlanta’s BeltLine, Westside, and Westside Park overlay districts.
I conducted an affordability gap analysis by pulling and cleaning Census and ACS datasets, modeling demand and supply mismatches by AMI and bedroom type, and mapping the results. R was used to process large datasets, calculate affordability thresholds, and visualize income‑based deficits. The final report integrated policy research and original graphics designed in InDesign and Illustrator.
Berkeley Lake Small Area Plan
Skills & Tools
Graphic Design, Community Engagement, InDesign, Urban Design, Small Area Planning, Analysis
About
One of the smallest and wealthiest cities in Georgia, Berkeley Lake asked our team to evaluate the small commercial strip to determine how it can be used to address key issues facing the city: environmental, housing, and placemaking.
In this process, we interviewed key stakeholders, conducted analysis, presented at multiple community meetings, and crafted recommendations on placemaking, housing, greenspace, and zoning. We represented these recommendations as a site plan for city officials. I contributed to all aspects of the process but was particularly responsible for creating engagement materials and the final deliverable document.
