The first and second editions conceptualised a process of designing and separate delivery processes of: development (private sector action), control (public sector action) and communication (of those actions). Thus there are states of optimum size, beyond which pathological conditions ensue. In particular, the exponential growth in scientific studies linking aspects of design quality with aspects of value economic, social, environmental and heath has lead to the concept of place value which has become a further underpinning concept throughout the book, including in this, the final chapter. { Nikos Salingaros, Principles of Urban Structure (Amsterdam: Techne Press, 2005), p. 227.
