About this title

Synopsis

�€œBuilding Height, Bulk, and Form�€� explores how zoning regulations can be strategically employed to safeguard against uneconomic building practices, especially on high-cost land. Written in 1931, this work by Leonard Cox and George B. Ford delves into the principles of urban planning and architectural design, offering insights into how thoughtful zoning policies can shape the cityscape and promote sustainable development. The book examines the relationship between building height, bulk, and overall form, providing a historical perspective on the use of zoning as a tool for protecting property values and fostering aesthetically pleasing and economically viable urban environments. A valuable resource for architects, urban planners, and anyone interested in the history of urban development.
