Current restructuring of multi-tier (state, regional, local) land use governance in the United States invites discussion and reexamination of the origins, diversity, and effects of intergovernmental planning. This article surveysfour major aspects of the literature on land use governance reform: the rationales and political motivations underlying reform attempts since the 1960s, citizen support and constituencies for changes in land use governance, the institutional forms and techniques of restructured land use control, and the procedural outputs and development outcomes of multi-tier growth management. These studies and evaluations help to illuminate both the potential benefits and the possible conflicts of current state-level reform.
