Land Value
-Land values are highest in areas of the city that are most accessible.
-Businesses that require a large area of land but produce relatively low income must find cheap land on which to locate, which would usually be found on the edge of the city.
-The central business district has the highest land values. This is why it has the tallest buildings and activities that generate a large amount of income, such as prestige offices.
-High land values are also found along major transportation routes, especially where such routes intersect.
Zoning
-Zoning refers to laws, usually passed by city governments, that control the kind and amount of development in an area.
-Zoning lows are meant to prevent conflicts between land uses; to promote and protect the health, safety, comfort, morals, welfare, convenience and necessity of the public, to secure adequate light, pure air, privacy and convenience of access to property; to regulate and limit the intensity of use of land, to protect against fire, explosions, noxious fumes, and other dangers; to avoid or lessen congestion in the public streets; to protect the physical and mental health of the public by reducing or abating objectionable smoke, noise or other objectionable materials or influences wherever possible; to prevent the overcrowding of land and the undue concentration of structures by regulating and limiting the use and bulk of buildings in relation to the surrounding land; to conserve and enhance the taxable value of land and buildings.
Technology
-Land-use patterns reflect the technology that existed when the land was developed.
-Older urban areas feature wider arterial roads and local roads designed to make through traffic difficult. As more automobiles are built, large parking lots near shopping and office areas are much more evident in the recently build areas.
Climate
-Many Canadian cities have built underground walkways in their downtown areas so that workers can get off the subway and walk to their offices without ever having to venture outside into the snow.
-Indoor shopping malls have been built, usually in the suburbs, in response to our harsh climate.
-Bus shelters, sidewalk barriers, and covered walkways protect pedestrians from the wind, snow, and flying slush. The location of buildings, the design of public spaces, and the use of natural vegetation are carefully considered in order to protect citizens from harsh weather, and at the same time to allow ample amounts of sunlight. Skating rinks, toboggan runs, and land-fill ski hills in parks encourage outdoor activity. The winter-city concept has changed peoples' attitude towards winter. Properly designed winter cities allow people to move around comfortably, and to participate in city life, both indoors and outdoors all year round.
