This refers to the extent to which people can put their own stamp on a place; decisions about forms and materials of the scheme must be carefully made to support personalization but also protect public role. International architectural competitions are now routinely expected to generate iconic buildings, and sometimes we forget that it is places not just buildings that make cities. Whilst there have been repeated attempts to redefine the subject, for example by relating it to particular favoured theories; a few attempts to hijack it by re-situating it within the disciplinary boundaries of allied subjects; and repeated attempts to package and market it under the guise of the latest urbanism, the major leap forward during this period can best be described in terms of a profound deepening of the knowledge-base for the discipline.
