Factors in the Zoning of Cities: A Symposium: Zoning and Health

Volume 88, Issue 1

The word “zoning” is now commonly used to designate the governmental process of dividing municipalities into districts and imposing on private property in such districts, uniform building restrictions relating to height, bulk, and use. The New York Committee which set the pace in this matter was called by the descriptive title, “Committee on Building Districts and Restrictions”, but the shorter expression seems to be preferred by the American public, even if the districts estahlished bear little resemblance to mathematical zones.
