ABSTRACT
This now famous quotation from Bosselman and Callies was written in the heady days of the 1970s, and its promise has not been fulfilled. Only a few states were initially involved in land use planning (as distinct from environmental planning); there are marked differences among them in the purpose and scope of their involvement; successes have been limited, and typically modest. Since then, more states have become involved in the realm of land use planning and have adopted various forms of statewide controls.
