Book excerpt: It's time for America to move beyond zoning, argues city planner M. Nolan Gray in Arbitrary Lines: How Zoning Broke the American City and How to Fix It. With lively explanations, Gray shows why zoning abolition is a necessary--if not sufficient--condition for building more affordable, vibrant, equitable, and sustainable cities. Gray lays the groundwork for this ambitious cause by clearing up common misconceptions about how American cities regulate growth and examining four contemporary critiques of zoning (its role in increasing housing costs, restricting growth in our most productive cities, institutionalizing racial and economic segregation, and mandating sprawl). He sets out some of the efforts currently underway to reform zoning and charts how land-use regulation might work in the post-zoning American city. Arbitrary Lines is an invitation to rethink the rules that will continue to shape American life--where we may live or work, who we may encounter, how we may travel. If the task seems daunting, the good news is that we have nowhere to go but up

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building Lines and Reservations for Future Streets: Their Establishment and Protection Knowledge of the various aspects and elements of city planning does not advance logically and at an even pace over the whole field. Rather it moves irregularly, and facts and theories are brought down to details where they happen to be most needed at the moment. In this way - at least provisionally, for practical use - definite city planning conceptions as to parks, zoning, public acquisition of land, and immediate traffic relief have been already set up and accepted. At the moment there is forced upon us a very significant problem, - that of building lines. That it has not yet been fully solved is made all the more evident by other recent gains in clarity of thought. It is not essentially new. The authors of Model Laws for Planning Cities, Counties, and States, and many other previous writers, recognized that in this matter we were proceeding without any really sufficient knowledge of present diverse and sporadic experience, and thus without a sound basis for constructive theory. This situation is caused by the interval of time which normally exists between the acceptance by a community of a plan which involves the public acquisition of land, and the actual complete acquisition of this land. We are unable to assure the plans being carried out, because, during this interval, its eventual realization may be hampered, intentionally or accidentally, by private constructions for which their owners are legally entitled to compensation. It is to be noted that this time interval between planned purpose and land acquisition is inevitable, indeed it is a part of the plan, since no city can or should waste the public funds and the interim land use by immediate acquisition of all the land required for ultimate public development.

Download or read book The Image of the City written by Kevin Lynch and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1964-06-15 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion—imageability—and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.

Book excerpt: This collection of twenty-one essays, written by colleagues and former students of the architectural historian Spiro Kostof (1936-1991), presents case studies on Kostof's model of urban forms and fabrics. The essays are remarkably diverse: the range includes pre-Columbian Inca settlements, fourteenth-century Cairo, nineteenth-century New Orleans, and twentieth-century Tokyo. Focusing on individual streets around the world and from different historical periods, the collection is an inviting overview of the street as an urban institution. The theme of the volume is that the street presents itself as the basic structuring device of a city's form and also as the locus of its civilization. Each essay is a detailed investigation of a single urban street with unique historical conditions. The authors' shared concern regarding anthropological, political, and technical aspects of street making coalesce into a critical discourse on urban space. A fitting tribute to Spiro Kostof, this collection will be greatly admired by scholars and general readers alike.
