In this practical guide, two well-known experts argue that municipal leaders can dramatically improve the quality of life in their communities by adjusting local land use regulations. Barnett, one of the pioneers of the modern practice of city design, and Blaesser, a land use and real estate lawyer, lay out strategies to preserve the natural environment, create desirable civic spaces, conserve historic buildings, reduce housing inequality, ease the pressures of urban sprawl, and deal with floods, erosion, and wildfire.

“Many writers have identified the deficiencies in traditional zoning and regulatory frameworks in the United States, but Jonathan Barnett and Brian Blaesser offer solutions that tweak and bend existing practices—let’s call it ‘context-sensitive policy’—to achieve better outcomes. The authors demonstrate that incorporating environmental considerations, changing scales of reference, and challenging planning dogma may be all we need to start building better communities.”
— Tom Wright, President, Regional Plan Association
“Rarely has such a comprehensive and readable book been written about how re-regulate development in the United States. Technically and legally rigorous, this book examines how we invest society’s wealth in where we live, work, and build.”
— Christopher B. Berger, Professor and Consultant, George Washington University School of Business and Brookings Institution“The authors offer an holistic view of development regulations that moves beyond the typical site-specific application to a broader context that incorporates the natural and historical environments, climate change, and other influences currently given little or no attention.”
— James D. Chrisman, Senior Vice President, Forest City Stapleton"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
