Mount Laurel doctrine

The Mount Laurel doctrine is a significant judicial doctrine of the New Jersey State Constitution. The doctrine requires that municipalities use their zoning powers in an affirmative manner to provide a realistic opportunity for the production of housing affordable to low- and moderate-income households. In the 2020s, criticisms that the doctrine produces suburban overdevelopment were the subject of political disagreement in the state.
