Reviews
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.
