“There are books about grand cities,
books about spectacular streets, and books
about great architects. This book is about grand
rules.” In the opinion of Alex Lehnerer, grand
urban rules are what configure the shapes of
cities. By collecting more than 100 such rules,
extrapolated from systems that regulate some of
the world’s most significant cities, Grand Urban
Rules effectively illustrates how the modelling
power of these non-innocent instruments of
urban definition is concretely expressed.
