This book systematically assesses key constitutional developments in the land-use field during the 1980s and early 1990s in state and federal supreme courts. Among the important trends highlighted are the growing role of state supreme courts, attacks on regulation as exclusionary, and the emergence of the takings clause of the Fifth Amendment as a potentially major limitation on governmental power. This analysis shows how rights and regulations are on a collision course that must be reconciled in the decades ahead.
