Building code circulation requirements in California profoundly shape the size, quality, accessibility, and location of new multifamily housing. As the state looks at ways to address its need for more housing, interest in the construction of multifamily housing is growing.

Join us as panelists from various backgrounds discuss how such housing can safely deliver more diverse multifamily housing options.
