Book excerpt: "Zoning has for a century enabled cities to chart their own course. It is a useful and popular institution, enabling homeowners to protect their main investment and provide safe neighborhoods. As home values have soared in recent years, however, this protection has accelerated to the degree that new housing development has become unreasonably difficult and costly. The widespread Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) syndrome is driven by voters’ excessive concern about their home values and creates barriers to growth that reach beyond individual communities. The barriers contribute to suburban sprawl, entrench income and racial segregation, retard regional immigration to the most productive cities, add to national wealth inequality, and slow the growth of the American economy. Some state, federal, and judicial interventions to control local zoning have done more harm than good. More effective approaches would moderate voters’ demand for local-land use regulation—by, for example, curtailing federal tax subsidies to owner-occupied housing"--Publisher's description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, Chicago established a unique zoning mechanism intended to preserve manufacturing space in its downtown: the planned manufacturing district (PMD), which protects production-oriented land use in gentrifying neighborhoods where industrial buildings are at risk of conversion to housing or commercial space. The PMDs were rooted in an effort to retain manufacturing business, and the employment they supported, amidst structural deindustrialization and downtown gentrification. In the 28 years since, Chicago's downtown development pattern has followed a decidedly post-industrial trajectory: the City has pursued an economic development strategy focused on service-sector growth, and industrial employment in the Loop has declined precipitously. Fifteen PMDs continue to exist, however, and half are concentrated in the neighborhoods that ring the downtown. In 2014, Chicago's second-oldest steel mill, Finkl Steel, relocated its production facility from Lincoln Park, a high-income residential neighborhood north of the Loop, leaving a 40-acre parcel vacant and creating the largest downtown redevelopment opportunity in 30 years. The opening of the FInkI Steel site, coupled with a thriving tech sector eager to convert industrial space to office use, has sparked renewed debate over the value and purpose of industrial areas in downtown Chicago. This spring, the City launched a public review process intended to explore potential mixed-use development in its downtown PMDs. Chicago's downtown PMDs have not yet been examined to understand how, or whether, they continue to hold the high-value industrial work they were intended to preserve. This thesis uses business and employment data, coupled with a series of in-person stakeholder interviews, to illustrate the economic and employment dynamics of three downtown PMDs between 2005 and 2013. Though the districts have lost industrial employment more rapidly than the City of Chicago, they are swiftly adding work in non-industrial sectors. This thesis contends that the flexible structure of Chicago's PMDs has allowed them to serve as spaces for employment growth; however, as a land use tool, industrial zoning does not have the capacity or teeth to ensure that emerging opportunities for work are high-value. "It is becoming a recognized fact that the power, growth, and advancement of a city is limited only by the measure of united civic interest of its people. The stronger and more vital the community spirit, the greater and more influential a city. It is this spirit which gives Chicago its great world distinction." Wacker's Manual of the Plan for Chicago, 1916 "The antimony of neighborhood versus downtown - a long-standing, urban grass-roots metaphor - was transformed in Chicago and elsewhere in the 1980s to portray a new set of development choices: manufacturing versus the service economy; blue-collar jobs versus low-wage McJobs; job generation versus real estate development; industrial expansion versus downtown growth; credit-starved neighborhoods versus the growth of the finance industry; targeted local hiring versus regional business climate; and minority / female businesses versus efficiency." "Spatial Change and Social Justice: Alternative Economic Development in Chicago," Robert Giloth & Robert Mier "At a time when jobs and economic opportunity are desperately needed across all neighborhoods, it pays to shine a bright light on the planned manufacturing district and the city's industrial retention policies and plans, and to ultimately ask the question of who benefits from these industrial land use decisions." "Pull the plug? No way. Let's power up the Clybourn industrial corridor," Mike Holzer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why are American cities, suburbs, and towns so distinct? Compared to European cities, those in the United States are characterized by lower densities and greater distances; neat, geometric layouts; an abundance of green space; a greater level of social segregation reflected in space; and—perhaps most noticeably—a greater share of individual, single-family detached housing. In Zoned in the USA, Sonia A. Hirt argues that zoning laws are among the important but understudied reasons for the cross-continental differences.Hirt shows that rather than being imported from Europe, U.S. municipal zoning law was in fact an institution that quickly developed its own, distinctly American profile. A distinct spatial culture of individualism—founded on an ideal of separate, single-family residences apart from the dirt and turmoil of industrial and agricultural production—has driven much of municipal regulation, defined land-use, and, ultimately, shaped American life. Hirt explores municipal zoning from a comparative and international perspective, drawing on archival resources and contemporary land-use laws from England, Germany, France, Australia, Russia, Canada, and Japan to challenge assumptions about American cities and the laws that guide them.
Download or read book The Economics of Zoning Laws written by William A. Fischel and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 1987-08 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Land use controls can affect the quality of the environment, the provision of public services, the distribution of income and wealth, the development of natural resources, and the growth of the national economy. The Economics of Zoning Laws is the first book to apply the modern economic theory of property rights to all major aspects of zoning. Zoning laws are neither irrational constrints on otherwise efficient markets nor disinterested attempts to correct market failure. Rather, zoning must be viewed as a collective property right, vested in local governments and administered by politicians who rationally repsond to their constituents and to developers as markets for development rights arise. The Economics of Zoning Laws develops the economic theories of property rights and public choice and applies them to three zoning controversies: the siting of a large industrial plant, the exclusionary zoning of the suburbs, and the constitutional protection of propery owners from excessive regulation. Economic and legal theory, William Fischel contends, suggest that payment of damages under the taking clause of the Constitution may provide the most effective remedy for excessive zoning regulations.
