Land Use - Chase Rankin

    In the article that I read, it says that "Land-use planning and zoning are cities’ primary tools for increasing density and supporting high quality services." After studying land use and reading about it for weeks now, I would completely agree. As land use guides development, people who create the land use and zoning maps get to put things wherever they think best fit. I think that people's goals when trying to create these maps are to put all of the people in certain areas and things that relate to each other in the others. This is an efficient way for people to be more densely populated in one area designated for just them. Some of the methods that cities use to increase density in areas involves density bonuses, inclusionary zoning, incentive zoning, land assembly, and graduated density zoning. As you can see, these are different methods of zoning. Some things that cities take into factor is how the community can be included in other areas other than just the suburb part of the zones such as, working, shopping etc.
