ABSTRACT

Land use control has become a ubiquitous part of contemporary planning, but in early 20th century Canada such controls were under constant debate. I review these debates and interrogate planning-led anxieties around waste to show how planners used categories of waste to encourage land use control and to facilitate the improvement of people’s lives and property. I think through the frictions that emerged when such planning ideas, mobilized through professional networks, touched down in the cities of Vancouver and Winnipeg. Land use regimes warrant increased scholarly attention: early conversations have contemporary relevance, as their discursive logics are foundational to modern methods of land use control.

摘要

土地使用控制已成为当代规划中无处不在的一部分，但是在20世纪初期，加拿大一直在不断讨论这种控制。我回顾了这些辩论并审视了由规划引起的对废物的焦虑，以表明规划者如何利用废物类别来鼓励土地使用控制并促进人们生活和财产的改善。我认为，通过专业网络动员起来的这种规划思想在温哥华和温尼伯等城市触及时出现的摩擦。土地使用制度值得学术关注：早期对话具有当代意义，因为它们的话语逻辑是现代土地使用控制方法的基础。
