Urban codes have a profound influence on urban form, affecting
the design and placement of buildings, streets and public spaces.
Historically, their use has helped create some of our best-loved
urban environments, while recent advances in coding have been a
growing focus of attention, particularly in Britain and North
America. However, the full potential for the role of codes has yet
to be realized.
In Urban Coding and Planning, Stephen Marshall and his
contributors investigate the nature and scope of coding; its
purposes; the kinds of environments it creates; and, perhaps most
importantly, its relationship to urban planning.
By bringing together 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.
