Most of cities in USA, except Houston City, use regulatory system. Inthis system, decision for a land use application is only based on zoning regulation. While Singapore uses discretionary system, the owner’s right to develop is controlled, not only by a zoning regulation, but also by a planning authority’s discretion.
