- prostoalex 14y agoI was addressing parent's "There should be no zoning at all". Maybe I'm confusing zoning and urban planning.
- mseebach 14y agoZoning and urban planning are very closely interrelated. Zoning (obviously) is an instance of urban planning - and it's very hard to plan a city if you don't have a way of enforcing your plan (zoning). The China and Eastern Europe ghost-cities are slightly different because the distinction between the zoning authority (government) and the developer is more fluid, but I still think it applies.
