Maryland's Next Smart Growth Initiative: The Next Steps, Parris N. Glendening

Fordham Urban Law Journal

City Life And New Urbanism, Ray Gindroz Jan 2002

City Life And New Urbanism, Ray Gindroz

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article discusses the importance and reintroduction of urban centers as areas of continuing development, information exchange and health in cities and suburbs. It first comments on the decay of urban centers as a result of the post-World War II push to build towns and cities which were more isolated, fragmented and anti-urban. New urbanism began in the 1970s and 80s to create neighborhoods and urban centers rather than scattered developments and has successfully continued to this day. This article identifies the design principles of these urbanists and how they are put into practice, including a case study of Park …


Eras, Daniel Solomon Jan 2002

Eras, Daniel Solomon

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article discusses the different eras of development of the American town. The first era was a result of the agrarian grid. The second era started in 1938 when the Federal Housing Administration began working on a national code. The article identifies these sprawling second era towns as deficient. A third era is now underway and is heavily influenced by the first era towns.


Making The Good Easy: The Smart Code Alternative, Andres Duany, Emily Talen Jan 2002

Making The Good Easy: The Smart Code Alternative, Andres Duany, Emily Talen

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article advocates for a new, fundamentally different plan for how cities should be coded, the Smart Code. It links urbanism and environmentalism and is strongly aligned with smart growth and sustainability. The Smart Code is offered as an alternative to the current anti-urban, conventional codes which are rigid and focus on single-use zones that separate human living space from the natural environment, as illustrated by the sprawl.


The Census As A Call To Action, David J. Barron, Gerald E. Frug Jan 2002

The Census As A Call To Action, David J. Barron, Gerald E. Frug

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article argues that we misinterpret the Census figures showing the continued growth of the suburbs and increase in populations of some cities and not others. While many, including a Harvard economist, contend that this is a purely a result of consumer preference, this article concludes that this pattern is more likely a result of legal rules promoting sprawl which have been unchanged for 50 years. The article states that this new census data should be a wake-up call for state law reform which will no longer constrain and define local government.

This Note will use the Waterfront Ordinance as a vehicle for examining the new heightened scrutiny standard introduced in Dolan.

Part II reviews the new standards espoused by the Supreme Court in Nollan and Dolan. Part III describes the purpose of New York City's 1993. Waterfront Zoning Ordinance and discusses its history, objectives, and provisions. Part …
