Identity and Diversity of Districts and Buildings
Urban and architectural coherence is associated with livable, successful cities and should therefore be considered by urban designers. Often, places gain coherence when their designers and builders follow a framework which was established years earlier. The intention is to avoid uniformity of appearance while creating a built environment where parts of the city will have their own distinct charm and identity to form an urban quilt of sort. This chapter looks at methods that foster such processes.
