ABSTRACT
In the preceding chapters we have seen a diversity of traditions of urban coding and planning that have helped to create the ziggurat-like skyscrapers of New York, recreate traditional-style Kyoto teahouses, or crystallize Edinburgh’s ‘cold eternity of lime and stone’ (see chapters 11, 7 and 3, respectively). Yet, despite the diversity of contexts and outcomes, there are some common themes, that are worthy of further examination and reflection. This concluding chapter aims to bring together a selection of these themes and suggest possibilities for future coding and planning.
