The arbitrary lines of zoning maps across the country have come to dictate where Americans may live and work, forcing cities into a pattern of growth that is segregated and sprawling.

The good news is that reform is in the air, with states across the country critically reevaluating zoning. In cities as diverse as Minneapolis, Fayetteville, and Hartford, the key pillars of zoning are under fire, with apartment bans being scrapped, minimum lot sizes dropping, and off-street parking requirements disappearing altogether. Some American cities already make land-use planning work without zoning.

In Arbitrary Lines, Gray lays the groundwork for this ambitious cause by clearing up common confusions and myths about how American cities regulate growth and examining the major contemporary critiques of zoning. Gray 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.

Gray shows how zoning has failed to address even our most basic concerns about urban growth over the past century, and how we can think about a new way of planning a more affordable, prosperous, equitable, and sustainable American city.

Best book on zoning and the housing crisis

The author argues that the 100 yr old experiment with zoning has not only created vast inequities and perpetuated racial and classist segregation, but it has failed to fulfill the promises it makes. This book makes a strong case that our cities will be more profitable, productive, livable, and equitable if we abolish - not just reform - zoning.

A Great Primer on Zoning, Its Origins, and Its Drawbacks

A good overview of zoning for someone who doesn’t know a lot about it - what it does and doesn’t do and how it has affected urban development. I recommend the book to pro-urbanist laypeople like me who like watching YouTube channels such as Not Just Bikes or CityNerd or who have read Strong Towns but who have no formal training in city planning.

America’s been shooting itself in the foot for too long, this was a great read. I love that he finished it with recommendations. Wish there were more city examples for zoning.

while I'm not entirely convinced that zoning abolition is the right choice for American Cities, I find the critical look at them to be enlightening and motivating.

A very interesting looking into zoning

This is a great lay-persons overview for the difficulties faced in developing communities, increasing varied housing stock, and balancing city services. There are other factors to consider, such as the tax code, but it is refreshing to see an analysis of zoning and land use.
