A Case for Beauty: History and Philosophy of Code Enforcement - Paperback

by Eugene Alper (Author)

The book is about how we, squeezed in cities, strive to preserve our physical safety while longing for beauty. It is about us looking up to the city government to provide both. It is about the city government promising to deliver. It is about its hiring an enforcer to do the job. It is about the new profession called code enforcement. It is about man's never-changing need to have order and beauty.
