Definition of zoning

zoningnoun

phân vùng

/ˈzəʊnɪŋ//ˈzəʊnɪŋ/

The term "zoning" originates from the early 20th century, particularly in the United States. The concept of zoning began to take shape in the early 1900s, as cities faced rapid growth and urbanization. The term "zoning" was coined by Hugo-Maria Hammerich, a German engineer who used the term "Raumzonen" (meaning "space zones" in German) to describe the division of urban areas into separate districts for different uses. The term was later adopted and adapted in the US, with the first zoning ordinance being passed in New York City in 1916. The idea of zoning quickly gained popularity, and by the 1920s, many cities in the US had implemented zoning regulations to control land use, promote orderly growth, and protect public health, safety, and welfare.
