LAND USE POLITICS AND LAW IN THE 1970’S

摘要

This study seeks to promote an understanding of recent political facets of the general land use challenge faced in the United States and the legal authority for governmental action by state and federal officials under given conditions. It also attempts to suggest some current and future implications of these political and legal developments. In so doing, it first provides an overview of local versus state versus federal powers and practices for solving the nation’s land use challenge. Then an analysis is provided of land use law and politics in five states playing active roles in land control.
