This book explores a simple but powerful idea. The way we organize the ground of our cities impacts everyday life. In other words, the street systems, plot patterns and building arrangements we lay down on the ground influence, first, the main three-dimensional aspects of building fabrics and then, socioeconomic diversity and environmental sustainability.

We argue that if the ground plan can make it there, it will make it anywhere.
