THE YIMBY MOVEMENT

YIMBY HISTORY

The YIMBY movement is an international initiative to not only discuss, document and promote good development, but also to counter the often negative ‘Not In My Backyard’ attitude that continues to unreasonably influence development outcomes. Planning frameworks that are influenced by NIMBYism are often discouraging of developments that seek to best provide for housing, jobs, lifestyle precincts and the associated community benefits we all have come to expect. The YIMBY movement has spread across North America, Europe, and Australia as cities celebrate a culture of YES.
