Metrocoalescence is a book for a future generation of urbanists that may not yet exist, or that has not yet realized its potential. It is for those who are looking for a way out of Euclidean zoning, and for those who are willing to imagine a legal framework for land use aligned with the values that define our times. It is for those who dream beyond the bounds of single-family zoning, who have transcended the trappings of 20th Century planning, and who are dedicated to overcoming the challenges of affordable housing, walkable urban design, and cultivating the local vernacular.
This book offers a visionary framework for the future of urban and rural land use that encourages incremental growth and in which development rights are a function of existing conditions. Vernacular Resonance is a methodology for cities to promote the emergence of a contemporary architectural vernacular.  
Together, these strategies constitute a holistic approach to the aesthetic, social and economic project of regulating cities as self-organizing systems.
