Abstract
The contribute is focused on the Transect tool. The transect’s great value is that it provides practitioners, students, developers, and public officials with a comprehensive system to help guide the rational, organic development of towns, cities and metropolises. It shows how to Understand the European City through the Transect, and then how to use the Transect to Reform the European City and its suburbs, and to find out practical solutions to the problems of sprawl. Transect and Urban Code are great tools to relate the metropolitan scale to the refined scale of architectural detail. It should be adopted by municipal building departments as a law, and by practitioners as a guide.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
