520 _aHome zone schemes are appearing more frequently in residential areas. This article reviews the rather muddled start of getting this major urban design initiative off the ground. As yet there is no definitive government view of what legally constitutes a home zone and no specific legislation to support the concept. Lists the original 14 pilot schemes and schemes overseas.
