About this ebook
City Rules offers a challenge to students and professionals in urban planning, design, and policy to change the rules of city-building, using regulations to reinvigorate, rather than stifle, our communities. Emily Talen demonstrates that regulations are a primary detrimto the creation of a desirable urban form. While many contemporary codes encourage sprawl and even urban blight, that hasn't always been the case-and it shouldn't be in the future.
Talen provides a visually rich history, showing how certain eras used rules to produce beautiful, walkable, and sustainable communities, while others created just the opposite. She makes complex regulations understandable, demystifying city rules like zoning and illustrating how written codes translate into real-world consequences. Mimportantly, Talen proposes changes to these rules that will actually enhance communities' freedom to develop unique spaces.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Technical but plainspoken. This is part of my studies for my professional certification exam, but has some value for anyone curious about the origins and practicalities behind zoning. It does feel a bit depressing at some points, as failed land use interventions and unintended consequences are listed in great detail. But ultimately I got through that because it's a fast and accessible read.
