The purpose of this paper is to outline the impacts of big box retail land uses on communities in North America and to explore legal and integrated land use strategies to address the problems associated with big box retail. While it is beyond the scope of this paper to detail strategies that counter the effects of superstores on regional and national labor markets, many of the land use solutions proposed in Part 3 inherently address these issues. In Part 1, I briefly outline the smart growth metropolitan development framework in which big box sprawl is situated, and in Part 2 set out the problems with big box stores. In Part 3, I present the jurisprudence of land use and zoning that frames how local governments and citizens can control retail development in communities. In Part 4, I further discuss specific strategies employed by states, local governments, and citizens to control big box sprawl. Finally, Part 5 is dedicated to case studies of integrated legal and political approaches that have resulted in smart growth solutions.
