What is modern zoning in the United States? Years of study, experiment, practice, legislation and litigation make possible an answer. Ten years ago the creation of building districts without State enabling acts, and the enactment of interim and temporary ordinances without maps, were all called zoning. So long as the municipality created different districts, there was hope that, the courts would support the ordinance because the name zoning was applied to it. Such hope has proved fatuous. The courts have not heeded the name, but no one can saj that they have failed to heed the realities of the police power and gradually extend Its principles to the new needs of cities.
