In this practical guide, two well-known experts argue that municipal leaders can dramatically improve the quality of life in their communities by adjusting local land use regulations. Barnett, one of the pioneers of the modern practice of city design, and Blaesser, a land use and real estate lawyer, lay out strategies to preserve the natural environment, create desirable civic spaces, conserve historic buildings, reduce housing inequality, ease the pressures of urban sprawl, and deal with floods, erosion, and wildfire.
Jonathan Barnett served as director of the graduate urban design program at the University of Pennsylvania and at the City College of New York.
Brian W. Blaesser is a partner in the law firm Robinson & Cole LLP, and heads its Land Use and Real Estate Development Group.
