A Research Agenda for US Land Use and Planning Law

Elgar Research Agendas

Edited by John J. Infranca, Professor of Law, Suffolk University Law School, Boston and Sarah Schindler, Maxine Kurtz Faculty Research Scholar and Professor of Law, Sturm College of Law, University of Denver, US

Authoritative and multidisciplinary in approach, this Research Agenda shapes questions that will underpin future legal and empirical scholarly inquiry on zoning and land use regulation in the US. Building on existing debates and providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of academic research, it identifies the gaps which need addressing in future research.

‘This superb book, edited by prominent land use law professors Infranca and Schindler, features a “who’s who” of academic authorities who thoughtfully tackle today’s salient issues of land use law and planning in highly readable and stimulating prose. This book belongs on the shelves of all land use scholars and practitioners.’

‘At a time when the stakes could not be higher for how our built environment shapes our economy and society, John Infranca and Sarah Schindler have gathered a remarkable group of scholars to map the complex dynamics defining contemporary land-use and planning law, making a compelling argument for the value of research to navigate the challenging paths ahead.’
