Zoning is at once a key technical competency of urban planning
practice and a highly politicized regulatory tool. How this
contradiction between the technical and political is resolved has
wide-reaching implications for urban equity and sustainability, two
key concerns of urban planning. Moving beyond critiques of zoning
as a regulatory hindrance to local affordability or merely the
rulebook that guides urban land use, this textbook takes an
institutional approach to zoning, positioning its practice within
the larger political, social, and economic conflicts that shape
local access for diverse groups across urban space. Foregrounding
the historical-institutional setting in which zoning is embedded
allows planners to more deeply engage with the equity and
sustainability issues related to zoning practice. By approaching
zoning from a social science and planning perspective, this text
engages students of urban planning, policy, and design with several
key questions relevant to the realities of zoning and land
regulation they encounter in practice. Why has the practice of
zoning evolved as it has? How do social and economic institutions
shape zoning in contemporary practice? How does zoning relate to
the other competencies of planning, such as housing and transport?
Where and why has zoning, an act of physical land use regulation,
replaced social planning? These questions, grounded in examples and
cases, will prompt readers to think critically about the potential
and limitations of zoning. By reforging the important links between
zoning practice and the concerns of the urban planning profession,
this text provides a new framework for considering zoning in the
21st century and beyond.
