Webinar Topic: Why Inclusionary Zoning Matters – and How to Get it Right!
Date: February 4, 2026
Speakers: Jennifer Raitt (Executive Director of the Northern Middlesex Council of Governments – NMCOG), George Proakis (AICP, City Manager, City of Watertown), Eric Halvorsen (AICP, Vice-President of RKG Associates), and Judi Barrett (President, Barrett Planning Group).
Barrett Planning Group’s Webinar Series for Planners dives into a timely and much-debated topic: inclusionary zoning. Titled “Why Inclusionary Zoning Matters—and How to Get It Right,” this webinar is sparked by a lawsuit seeking to overturn Cambridge, Massachusetts’s long-standing inclusionary zoning ordinance. The session is designed to help planners think through what makes inclusionary zoning effective, and how to design policies that support affordable housing without slowing the pace of much-needed housing production. While all four speakers are based in Massachusetts, the conversation is relevant to planners everywhere.
