Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a comprehensive plan for city development in New York City. Published in 1916 just three years after the creation of the first zoning law in the United States, this plan provided the framework for the zoning of land use, height restrictions, and open space require…ments for the city. Rooted in the idea that a well-planned city was vital to the public welfare, the author cites examples of haphazard construction and its effects on neighborhoods. The author presents a unique plan for dividing the city into designated districts, recommending restrictions to preserve residential neighborhoods and arguing for the segregation of industries into specific zones. The author makes a case for public regulation of building development and the importance of establishing quality-of-life standards for the city's inhabitants. The plan laid out in this book provided a model that would be adopted by cities across the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
