Excerpt from Zoning: The Division of Cities Into Residence and Industrial Districts: A Discussion of Laws and OrdinancesIn certain cities Of the United States the height of buildings within specified areas has been regulated for several years, and various cities have also regulated the percentages of lot-area which may be built upon. It was not, however, until the last few years that any thorough-going system of zoning was undertaken in this country. Los Angeles in 1909 divided its city into residence and industrial districts. The active movement for zoning may be said to have received its origin with the adoption of the plan in New York City.A compilation showing the advance of the movement in the United States is given in the following pages. The information is complete so far as the data are at hand. Most of the important legislation on the subject has been included.A short reading list is appended and also a list Of court decisions, made by Mr. Edward M. Bassett, chairman of the New York Commission on Building Districts and Restrictions.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
