Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show why re-zoning is a present-day necessity, and to indicate some practical methods of re-zoning urban areas. The first part of the paper is devoted to an ex planation of zoning experience in Chicago, Ill. The Illinois State law permitting zoning is outlined, together with the 1923 Chicago zoning ordinance and subsequent amendments in methods and policies, and then a comparison is drawn between land uses as they existed in 1923, the land-use allocations made in the 1923 zoning ordinance, and the land uses as they existed in 1936. The writer believes that this factual demonstration of conditions in Chic ago, which are shown to be similar to conditions in other American cities, proves the need for re-zoning.
