Urban Land Use

Mapping and a statistical description of existing land uses are generally considered to be prerequisite to the planning for a locality. It is often hoped that by comparing land use statistics of a community with those of other communities, an "average" pattern will emerge. The "average" may be considered to be the "correct or "optimum" distribution of land uses. Those who turn to comparative summary land use statistics for indications of optimum land use patterns, generally translate land use figures into ratios of area to population. Thus, land use statistics are often expressed as a certain number of acres to be devoted to commercial use per 100 persons. Or this formula may be reversed, and a city, for example of 25,000 population is urged to devote a certain percentage of its land area to commercial use.
The idea of possible optimum land use patterns is tantalizing. Indications of such optimum patterns do not emerge from existing data. Possibly when the methods employed in making land use surveys and the definition of land use categories are standardized, and when communities can be classified as to social, economic, and functional types, it may be possible to discover certain trends and derive optimum land use patterns. For example, after grouping together information for each social, economic and functional type of community, it may be found that high-income residential suburban communities, dependent upon cities of over one million population, reveal certain similar characteristics. On the basis of these similar characteristics it might be possible to abstract the best existing ratio of land uses to people, and to project such uses to similar communities under similar conditions. The bulk of the research in this field remains to be done. The Harvard City Planning Studies, Volume IV, Urban Land Uses, by Harland Bartholomew, which was published in 1932, was the first major comparative study.
