Reinventing Development Regulations

Jonathan Barnett and Brian W. Blaesser

October 2017, English

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.
