Land-use regulations have significant impacts on the built form and character of an area; they can change the development pattern or even socioeconomic composition of the local populace. Zoning is a critical tool that used for implementing planning policies through out the u. s. Zoning has a fairly shorter history than planning in terms of regulating land use, however, it shapes the city and affects the whole society.
