In urban planning, zoning is a method in which a municipality or other tier of government divides land into "zones", each of which has a set of regulations for new development that differs from other zones.

Is there a democracy where the national government can directly determine the zoning of a municipality? In Canada, the federal government cannot direct cities to modify the zoning to allow for more home construction for example. It can only create an incentive for the zoning to be done, is this the case for all major Western democracies? I am guessing some countries like North Korea and China may differ, but I am wondering if all democracies have similar laws.
