ABSTRACT
Only connect . . . Live in fragments no longer. (E.M. Forster, Howard’s End, 1910, ch. 22)
The ripest fruit hangs where not one, but only two, can reach. (William Plomer, libretto for the opera Gloriana, 1953)
We have ‘ambitions for the quality of the land use’ not only at the scale of the neighbourhood, but also at the larger scale of the city or the region. In this chapter we investigate the possibilities of realizing the ambitions at this scale by applying private law rules.1
