ABSTRACT
Chapter 5 focuses on the Californian land-use planning system and its effects. The chapter is divided into five main sections. These are: (a) containment; (b) suburbanization; (c) land and housing prices; (d) economic growth; (e) residential and social segregation. The first section examines the containment-or lack of containmentof Californian cities. It is shown not to have been a major objective of Californian planning. The result has been the growth of cities like Los Angeles. Growth management movements are a comparatively recent phenomenon in California.
