This comprehensive overview discusses the intersection of urban land use and federal environmental regulations, particularly focusing on the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and Environmental Impact Statements (EIS). It outlines residential land use patterns in urban settings, including the Concentric Circle, Sector, and Multiple Nuclei models, and addresses urban sprawl's causes and effects. Furthermore, it emphasizes smart growth strategies to promote sustainable development, recognizing the importance of community collaboration, diverse housing options, and the preservation of green spaces.
E N D
Federal Regulation • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) • Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) • Environmental Mitigation Plan • Endangered Species Act (1973)
Major Spatial Patterns • Concentric Circle City such as New York • Sector City is the large urban area extending from San Francisco to San Jose, CA • Multiple Nuclei City is Los Angeles • Megalopolis is when separate cities join such as the Bowash
Concentric Circle Model • Central business district (CBD) • Deteriorating transition zone • Worker’s homes • Middle-class suburbs • Commuter's zone
Sector Model • High-rent residential • Intermediate-rent residential • Low-rent residential • Education and recreation • Transportation • Industrial • Core (CBD)
