Description
This pioneering study explores how traditional towns and cities were conceived, organized, and developed over long periods of time, based on simple rules that reflected societal norms and ethical values. Dating back to the fourteenth century, the sources used in this work shed light on the generative processes that shaped urban form.
The book reveals the implications of responsibility allocation and decision-making patterns in urban development, shedding important insights into sustainability, eco-cities, and policies for the built environment. This study is a significant contribution to enhancing theories and practice in urban planning and design.
