Abstract
Houston is often held up as the example of the un-‐zoned American city, with the implication
being that Houston’s land use is altogether unregulated and the city’s form is the purest
reflection of market forces in any major U.S. city (Lewyn, 2005). While it is true that Houston
has no zoning code and that land is developed with fewer use restrictions than most places, it is
far from unregulated. Houston has many regulations that apply to form typologies rather than
land areas (Lewyn, 2005), and there is a raft of regulations surrounding things such as parking
requirements, street widths, and lot size among other things.
