20. Urban Land-Use Planning and Control  Land-use planning  Property taxes  Zoning  Smart growth  Urban growth boundary  Cluster development  Greenbelts

21. Suburban Sprawl  As a consequence of an urban crisis, people move out of the city to the suburbs, expanding the city’s borders.

22. Suburban Sprawl  Suburbs offer more living space for less money, lower crime rates, and more privacy than cities. People are close enough that they can commute to work in the city.  More Americans live in suburbs than in cities an country-side combined.

23. Land Use Planning  Land Use planning involves establishing a master zoning plan for suburban areas.  Montgomery County, Maryland adopted a wedge and corridors plan in 1964 which is a model of land-use planning in the Unites States.
