This article examines where and how to impose floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in the presence of negative externalities engendered in population density, e.g., traffic congestion and noise, using a simple static closed city model. Results indicate that FAR regulation is the second-best policy and that there is a need for “minimumFAR regulations,” in addition to the currently used “maximumFAR regulations.” Thus, the imposition of onlymaximumFAR regulations, a practice common in actual city planning, is concluded to be insufficient for a closed city.
