About this ebook
Zoning Battles explores the complex world of urban planning, examining how zoning regulations shape our communities and impact real estate development, businesses, and residents. Initially intended to promote public health and safety, zoning has evolved to control density, building types, and even neighborhood aesthetics. These regulations can become flashpoints for conflict, especially in growing urban areas, impacting housing affordability, business opportunities, and community character. The book argues that outdated zoning codes can stifle economic growth and perpetuate social inequalities.
The book progresses by first introducing the fundamental principles of zoning and its historical development. Then, it analyzes real-world case studies of zoning conflicts, exploring the factors that contribute to these disputes, such as single-family zoning and minimum parking requirements. Finally, it delves into potential solutions for resolving zoning conflicts and promoting equitable urban development through form-based coding and community engagement.
By examining legal documents, planning reports, and economic data, Zoning Battles offers a balanced perspective, encouraging informed discussion about creating zoning codes that promote sustainable and vibrant communities.
