Hi Ian, Kostas, Geowanking list, I am not sure what Kostas (https://github.com/gisdarcon, https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/environmental-sciences/staff/konstantinos-daras/) is working on currently, but he has worked a lot on zone design in the last decade or so. I am not sure what the latest is in terms of software he has developed, but maybe he will enlighten us. (I’m not sure what to point at on http://www.zonedesignsystems.com/ Kostas, sorry :-)

A good reference for Gerrymandering is Mark Monier's Bushmanders & Bullwinkles (http://www.markmonmonier.com/bushmanders_and_bullwinkles__how_politicians_manipulate_electronic_maps_and_cens_15190.htm). I started to look at this back in 2012 but gave up after reading it as gerrymandering seems to be part of the design rather than a problem with the US system. I was planning on reimplementing some of the ZDes system of Stan Openshaw.
