Abstract

Purpose - This paper aims to examine the case against land use zoning. Design/methodology/approach - We approach this analysis from the perspective of economics, health and geography. Findings - The findings of this paper suggest that the case against zoning is overwhelming. Research limitations/implications - This result applies only to public zoning, not the private variety thereof. Practical implications - Public zoning should be repealed. Originality/value - This paper approaches this from three perspectives: economics, health and geography; this has not been done before.
