About Zoning
Zoning shapes the city. Zoning determines
the size and use of buildings, where they are located
and, in large measure, the densities of the city’s
diverse neighborhoods. Along with the city's power
to budget, tax, and condemn property, zoning is a
key tool for carrying out planning policy. New York
City has been a pioneer in the field of zoning policy
since it enacted the nation's first comprehensive
Zoning Resolution in 1916.
