Editorial Reviews

Review

"A readable study of zoning that constructively blends the traditional welfare economics analysis of land use regulation and empirical studies of the effect of zoning and new 'deregulation' proposals with a keen understanding of the social and economic motives of local officials... [T]he most complete, searching, and balanced analysis of the theoretical basis of land use controls ever published." -- Journal of the American Planning Association
