Document Summary

The legal regulation of morality and culture through planning law. Administrative detention is not punishment; i. e. immigration law, governing risks; question of unauthorized punishment in immigration detention. Social ecology assumed that urban spaces would naturally differentiate. Chicago-school in urban sociology: the naturalization of cultural prejudices re. mixing with the "wrong" people; natural seperation of species. Zoning bylaws (ordinances) used to give legal force to separation. Before zoning, middle/upper class family oriented enclaves could only be protected through "restrictive covenants" (private law) In toronto, lawrence park had one such covenant, ensuring that minimum lot sizes and single-family- detached social relations would be maintained even after the house was sold to new owners. Content of covenant transferred over into first zoning bylaw (1926); similar practices popped up around. Some canadian restrictive covenants prevented selling houses to jews or blacks. Public law could not make these sort of restrictions, but private law could.
