Land Uses in Cities

Cities are usually planned out

When they are not urban sprawl develops

There is a lot of competition for land

Peak-value intersections (PVIs) are worth the most as they get the most exposure

Land is zoned in cities based on an official plan

Zoning by-laws are created to prevent unlike zoning

Summary

In large cities, there is often a lot of competition for land because they try to plan them to make sure there isn't a lot of urban sprawl, since cities are supposed to be close to everything in general. Peak- Value intersections are regions within a settlement with the greatest land value and commerce. They are usually located in the central business district of a town or city, and has the greatest density of transport links such as roads and rail. Land zoning in cities typically segregates land uses into three main categories - residential, commercial, and industrial. Thus, if a section of a city is zoned residential, then no commercial uses are allowed in the area.
