Well Grounded: Using Land Use Authority to Achieve Smart Growth

Well Grounded: Using Local Land Use Authority to Achieve Smart Growth

by John R. Nolon

Rated 4 of 5 stars 36 Reader reviews

The book places land use practice into the national perspective of sprawl and smart growth, by fully describing one of the nation's most complete state land use regimes-the New York system. The New York system is highly textured, employing land use devices at the state, county, and local government levels, and it is typical of the approaches and techniques increasingly used in most of the other 49 states.

The book covers the history of land use practice from its evolution in 1916 to the very latest developments, including Palazzollo v. Rhode Island, the important regulatory takings case just handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court. It also describes the political history of land use law in New York, including some stunning victories and defeats which explain why land use law is practiced as it is today. Each chapter provides basic definitions of all topics before delving into more complicated applications of them.

Well Grounded is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and practical reference for land use officials and professionals, academics, and citizens in all states.
