Abstract
This paper discusses the historical development of inclusionary zoning and linkage and the reasons why both techniques are important issues for land use planning. Next, the paper examines current linkage programs in Boston and Miami, which have served as model programs throughout the nation. The paper also addresses the constitutional challenges to linkage and the merits of each argument. Finally, guidelines for a successful linkage program are explained with an analysis of ways to survive constitutional challenges. The paper concludes the linkage programs are necessary if current economic trends continue and affordable housing becomes even more scarce in the future.
