Abstract
The land use pattern emerging on the edges of U.S. urban areas is the result of a complex, interdependent, private-public process in which the private realm appears to take most of the initiative. This article focuses on the chainlike nature of the single-family residential development process, with a view toward implications for local planning policy. In order to guide the development process, a mix of policies must affect every decision link in the chain, from the predevelopment landowner's decision to hold or sell his land to the household's decision to move and its selection of a new residence.
