In 2026, we mark 100 years since the Supreme Court upheld zoning laws, shaping urban development and segregation. Key cases include Euclid, which enabled exclusionary single-family zoning, and Buchanan, which challenged racial discrimination. Landmarking protected historic sites but raised affordability issues. Kelo expanded eminent domain, often harming minority communities. Going forward, urban planning must address housing, segregation, and civil rights issues rooted in these legal decisions.
