Urban Coding and Planning

Beschreibung

One of the most significant recent innovations in urban planning, born of New Urbanism, is the revival or reinvention of the practice of coding. This book investigates the nature and contribution of urban coding, and its merits and demerits which are distinct from, but often bound up with, the merits and demerits of conventional town planning.
