Sommario/riassunto |
|
A Better Way to Zone explores the constitutional and legal framework of zoning, its evolution over the course of the twentieth century, the reasons behind major reform efforts of the past, and the adverse impacts of most current city zoning systems. With insight and clarity, Donald Elliott provides a vision of the future of zoning that is not tied to a particular picture of how cities should look, but is instead based on how cities should operate. |
