PPUA 5201 — Urban Planning and the Law
2 semester hoursGraduateLecturetypical days: WBostonTraditional
Addresses the role of law in defining the powers of planning and the legal questions surrounding key urban planning debates. Studies specifically the powers that city governments have to adopt to implement policies; debates about whether such powers should be expanded or restricted; the legal basis of government’s ability to intervene in housing, real estate development, land use and acquisition, and other planning issues, as well as debates about such powers; and the roles of federal and state governments in determining what cities can do. Examines these issues by analyzing legal structures, court decisions, and social research.
