"-Planning and Zoning is based on a January 1992 symposium held in observance of two 1991 anniversaries: the 75thanniversary of New York's 1916 zoning resolution, often called the nation's first comprehensive zoning law, and the 30thanniversary of its 1961 comprehensive revision.- --Planning -The main idea in this volume edited by Todd W. Bressi is that the premise that planning equals zoning doesn't work. A second message... is that in trying to make zoning do more than it perhaps should, we have got less than we could have... Although this book is nominally about New York City, it has much wider application. The specific circumstances that New York's zoning has been asked to address are familiar to planners everywhere: stimulating downtown development; preserving the historic or natural environment; providing housing of appropriate scale, cost, and location... Much of the discussion in Planning and Zoning New York City is explicitly about zoning. But the book is implicitly a dialogue about planning, and therein lies its importance... Articles in issues of both this journal and the Journal of Planning Education and Research have reopened discussion of the appropriate nature and scope of planning. The discussion should be expanded to include zoning as well as the relationship between planning and zoning. Planning and Zoning New York City begins that expansion and is thus as important for planning theorists and educators as for practitioners who see their zoning codes massaged and manipulated until, like New York's, they are less than the sum of their parts.- --Patricia Burgess, Journal of the American Planning Association -A first-rate primer on public finance . . . relevant for understanding the hard choices facing other states.- --Publius -A guide to responsible fiscal behavior in all states.- --Growth and Change -[A]n excellent book.- --Book News -[A] stimulus for further studying the problems of big cities in general and New York City in particular.- --Business Library Review -About New York C ity [but] has much wider application...
