Zoning Regulations
Zoning Regulations sits in the MasterPlanning phase of CityOS — AJG's synthesis of municipal-administration practice across 1,584 tracked cities. Zoning sets land-use categories (residential, commercial, industrial, mixed-use, special), permitted FSI/FAR, height limits, setbacks, parking ratios, signage. Form-based codes (Miami, Buffalo) are alternative to traditional Euclidean zoning. Inclusionary zoning mandates affordable units in market-rate developments. Scale: Per-parcel, citywide. Time horizon: Updates: 1-3 yr; full overhaul: 5-10 yr. Multilateral coverage: 197 countries × 1,584 cities (T1/T2/T3).

How does this relate to AJG's broader platform?
CityOS complements TradeOS (operations) and GovOS (rules) by adding the urban-management lens. Cross-OS quadruples — DealOS × TradeOS × GovOS × CityOS — surface strategic + operational + regulatory + spatial views together.
