This book reconsiders the fundamental principles of zoning and city
planning over the course of the past one-hundred years, and the
lessons that can be learned for the future of cities. Bringing
together the contributions of leading scholars, representing
diverse methodologies and academic disciplines, this book studies
core questions about the functionality of cities and the goals that
should be promoted via zoning and planning. It considers the
increasing pace of urbanization and growth of mega cities in both
developed and developing countries; changing concepts on the role
of mixed-use and density zoning; new policies on inclusionary
zoning as a way to facilitate urban justice and social mobility;
and the effects of current macrophenomena, such as mass immigration
and globalization, on the changing landscape of cities. The book's
twelve chapters are divided into four parts, each addressing
different aspects of zoning and planning by combining theoretical
analysis with a close observation of diverse case studies from
North America and Europe to the Middle East and developing
economies. Part I offers a critical analysis of the conventional
account of zoning as a top-down form of land-use regulation
starting with the 1916 NYC code. Part II studies how contemporary
concepts of zoning, both substantive and procedural, impact the
built environment across today's cities. Part III revisits the
economic foundations of zoning and urban policy in the context of
domestic markets, as compared with the regulatory and market
effects of interstate agreements on cross-border real estate
investments. Part IV analyzes the dominant, yet often implicit
social and political motives that are driving zoning policies
across different countries. This volume's focus on the ties between
zoning policy and economics, politics, socioeconomic conditions,
and the local-to-global scope of governance will appeal to scholars
and students of political science, economics, law, planning,
sustainability, geography, sociology, and architecture, as well as
policy-makers and practitioners, especially those in developing
countries and transitional and emerging economies.
