This paper seeks to reexamine the racial questions that helped shape the comprehensive
zoning proposals developed by Harland Bartholomew for St. Louis, Missouri, between 1916 and 1947. In addition to being one of the most productive urban planners in the US, Bartholomew also became a key reference
for urban planning in São Paulo. The case of St. Louis is emblematic for its context of sharp racial territorial
dispute, in which part of the white elite that politically supported the plans advocated the adoption of an urban
residential segregation law. Thus, we analyze the plans made for St. Louis between 1918 and 1946, comparing its decisions to the racial strife present at each moment in the city. With this article, we aim to bring new
elements to the public debate regarding zoning as a pertinent instrument for regulating the use and occupation
of urban land.
