Plot Logic: Character‐Building Through Creative Parcelisation
highlights the importance of creative parcelisation or land sub‐division to design quality. It calls for large development blocks to be broken down into smaller parcels to ensure participation by a range of different developers, thus promoting greater diversity and more fine‐grained character in the built environment. Drawing on case studies from Sweden, the Netherlands and Dubai, the chapter demonstrates the value of working from a parcel map providing a range of plot sizes within a large development and allowing for multiple parcels within any single block. To successfully balance the importance of urban variety and vibrancy against market demands for large single development blocks requires urban designers to work in close collaboration with real estate experts. However, as the case studies show, it is possible to devise institutional arrangements that create carefully parcelled and vibrant developments that also are economically viable for their developers.
