ISBN: 9780882851433 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two unique events shaped the magnificent unnatural geography of New York City and created its sense of place: the Commissioners' Plan of 1811 and the zoning resolution of 1916.

The second determined the city's three-dimensional form by restricting uses by district, by limiting the maximum mass of a building allowed on a given site. This book...
