Locally unwanted land use
- Locally unwanted land use
Locally unwanted land use is a planning term. Another term for it is nuisance. The acronym is "lulu".
It functions as a generic term for land uses which are detrimental for neighbouring land. It is a social necessity to site "lulus" in general, but no community wants to provide land for them. "Lulus" can include power plants, dumps, prisons, or psychiatric hospitals. Planning seeks to distribute and reduce the harm of "lulus" by zoning. Thus, property values are protected, and sites can be found where the usage is rather neutral to land value.
The term was coined in 1981 by Rutgers University urban planning professor Frank J. Popper in his paper "Siting LULUs," printed in "Planning" Magazine. [http://policy.rutgers.edu/faculty/popper.html]
