Inhaltsangabe

Urban codes have a profound influence on urban form, affecting the design and placement of buildings, frontages, public spaces and street layouts. Historically, their use, in conjunction with master plans, has led to some of our best-loved urban environments, while recent advances in coding have been a centre of attention, particularly in Britain and North America. By examining historical and ongoing traditions of coding from around the world - with chapters describing examples from the United Kingdom, France, India, China, Japan, Australia, South Africa, the United States and Latin America - this book provides lessons for today's theory and practice of place-making.
