A way in which the government plans the pysical development of the land and its uses.
Description:
Zoning laws often specfic the areaswhere residential, commercial and industrial activities take place. Flood-prone areas are often zoned as low-value developments such as parks for recreation purpose. ]]> 2019-03-28 02:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345964141 anthropyguo https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345967587 Eagan City in Minnesota, USA is near the Minnesota River. Areas of the city that is near the river are used for low-value development such as the Minnestoa Valley National Wildlife Refuge and parks. Further areas are used for industry activities. Residental zones are located furtherest away from the river so that houses may be safe from floods. ]]> 2019-03-28 02:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345967587 anthropyguo https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345968147 Benefits:
1. Zoning creates spaces of green areas such as parks which helps to reduce the impact of flood damage.
Challenges:
1. Zoning may limit the develpment of available land because only certain land uses are permitted. 
2. Zoning is difficult to carry out because of competing land uses and because people may not abide by the recommended land use. ]]> 2019-03-28 02:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345968147 https://padlet.com/anthropyguo/lrta4tb4opl5/wish/345978734 - tsaqif
