Suburban governments are not the only agencies that engage in fiscal zoning. In this article, the author demonstrates how a city can employ land-use controls to improve its fiscal situation while discriminating against low-income households. This is achieved by restricting the location of low-income clusters to specific sections of the city through land-use controls. These clusters are then provided with low levels of municipal services while they are assigned high property tax assessments. The author has labeled this type of behavior "urban fiscal zoning."
