“…The code is distinct and protective-The code is in addition to the standard manufacturing zones and lists a stronger set of protections or limitations on uses of the land than is found in the standard codes 2. Industrial Land is an asset-The code does not frame industrial land as a nuisance but as an asset that is important for the local economy/job base I decided upon identifying separate and distinct policies as recent studies show that cities that do adopt industrial preservation policies often designate protected districts as opposed to increasing protections on all existing manufacturing land (N. G. Leigh and Hoelzel 2012;N. Leigh et al 2014).…”

“…The predominate planning policy approach of the past thirty years-Smart Growth-recommends a land-use policy that is, at best, indifferent to industrial land provision and, at worst, actively encourages cities to dispose of their industrial land due to assumed obsolescence and environmental concerns. Leigh and Hoelzel (2012) review Smart Growth manuals and policies across the country and find that Smart Growth policies largely frame industrial land as a drag on local economies and sources of environmental contamination. In response, they note the myriad uses industrial land has in addition to local fiscal priorities and private sector employment including, but not limited to: space for public vehicles and infrastructure such as transit agency garages; limiting further job sprawl and spatial mismatch between workers and job locations; and creating more resilient, innovative local economies by having a true mix of industries present in our cities (N. G. Leigh and Hoelzel 2012).…”

“…Recent planning scholarship highlights how many city policies actually actively displace industrial users (and by extension the jobs they produce and the workers who fill them) (N. G. Leigh and Hoelzel 2012;Wolf-Powers 2005;Lester, Kaza, and Kirk 2013). In response to this research, and a growing realization by practicing planners that the loss of industrial land is a crisis in many cities, the APA recently released a policy guide offering instructions for cities that wish to grow their industrial workforces (N. Leigh et al 2014).…”

Major US cities are faced with a dilemma- how to accommodate a growing population and support urban industrial users. One response that some cities are taking is explicitly protecting swatches of industrial land as they realize the strategic value of plentiful industrial land. This piece reviewed industrial land use policies of the fifty largest US cities in 2012 and provides descriptions for 12 city industrial land preservation policies.

“…This chapter tries to move from the symbolic rhetoric of sustainability and its related axioms to hard and relevant data and information. This is useful in evaluating in practical terms the performance of plans and implementation efforts towards achieving sustainability, thus improving the ability and legitimacy of spatial planners in promoting the more holistic concept of sustainability (See Berke & Conroy, 2000: 31;and Leigh & Hoelzel, 2012). And since spatial planners play a key role in shaping and influencing the discussion about conceiving concrete public policy solutions related to -SG‖, the analysis provided hereinafter is based on extensive semi-structured interviews with planners from the policy community of Bethlehem (henceforth referred to as, respondents).…”
