City and Regional Planning QUESTION #4970
Question 1
What is the primary limitation of Euclidean Zoning in modern urban planning?
  • It allows mixed-use development
  • It separates incompatible uses too rigidly✔️
  • It provides too much flexibility
  • It ignores environmental concerns
Correct Answer Explanation
Euclidean Zoning (named after Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co.) rigidly separates land uses into single-use zones, leading to sprawl, increased travel distances, and reduced walkability—contradicting contemporary mixed-use and sustainable development principles.
