Zoning Evolution
Zoning is a powerful tool shaping the future of towns, determining what can be built, where, and how.
However, many communities treat zoning maps as static documents, rather than living frameworks that evolve with the community's needs, values, and realities.
Zoning was never meant to be static.
Introduced in the early 20th century, zoning aimed to bring order to rapidly industrializing cities, protecting health and safety by separating homes from hazardous areas and preserving access to light and air.
As an adaptive tool, zoning reflected the problems and opportunities of its time, not a permanent verdict on land use.
