      Another density graph, this time from Alain Bertaud's book "Order Without Design" By "center" I think Bertaud means "central business district" (CBD) Also had to make a small adjustment to the confusing labeling so as to stop reading it wrong... pic.twitter.com/gPvyGEb1nF

      Restrictive urban regulations are like hard drugs for cities: "Trying to suddenly remove their drug fix create severe side effects, because their organism is used to the drug and needs it, even as they are being destroyed by it."pic.twitter.com/02QGfrx1OR

      How are cities different from designed objects like bridges, washing machines, and phones? When a designed object becomes obsolete, it is discarded. By contrast, cities must survive, even (and especially) when tossed around by external shocks.pic.twitter.com/CVAk067oeS

      Paris regulates the altitude of buildings *from sea level* (rather than the typical building height measured from the ground floor) in order to protect the perspective view of landmarks like the Eiffel Tower! 😮pic.twitter.com/UeAOoSQEX5

      @patrickc once told me about Vancouver's rules to preserve the sightline angles to the mountains (but I'm having trouble finding info online). This regulation seems like a worthy trade off, especially considering the street have to be laid out either waypic.twitter.com/4cCIV2cmKX

      I heard about it in a radio interview with a city counselor back in 2008. Not sure to what degree it was a “rule” vs just something they tried to preserve in planning decisions.
