This study reviews how Houston, TX manages the land use system without zoning. Unlike its popular image, Houston s land use is coordinated through planned management. Through various regulatory measures, effects of ‘de facto’ zoning are being achieved. Coase s theorem, which is a theoretical framework for interpreting urban management in Houston, provides a few implications through Houston s case. First, the varied approaches for land use management yield superficially similar results on the premise that they are reasonable. Second, in reality, however, additional social costs result from the existence of transaction costs. This results in the exclusion of disadvantaged groups with weak bargaining power in terms of equity. In terms of efficiency, it reduces predictability and increases some costs due to added development period. Eventually, these development costs are transferred to the Houston citizens who are end-users.
