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. Development regulations determine the form of our cities, suburbs, and towns, but current regulations have structural deficiencies and biases that must be corrected for communities to meet 21st century land use challenges. 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.

This book from the Lincoln Institute's 2014 Land Policy Conference examines issues of land use policies and their impact on sustainable urbanization. By 1960, one-third of the world’s population lived in urban areas, and in 2007 the world’s urban population passed the halfway mark. All projected world population growth through 2050 will be urban, by which time two-thirds of the worlds people will depend on urban environments to meet their social, economic, and housing needs. The extent to which these needs will be met depends in many ways by the character of future urbanization defined in large part by land policies, ranging from planning for development or climate change, to the provision of affordable housing or other opportunities for the advancement of urban residents.
