The rise of the rule book -- Locked in place -- Altering inherited traits .
The author examines the relationship between standards and place making. He traces the evolution of codes and standards and analyses their impact on the modern city and its suburbs, arguing that it is time for development regulations to reflect site-specific and localised physical design.
