"Although flexibility in the design of housing is thought to be desirable, there are only a few examples which are completely successful in this respect. In other cases, the creation of a hierarchy of spaces within a limited area leads directly to types of plan which start to dictate where and how activities should happen. The position of the entrance is often related to a kitchen, dining, living sequence, with the bathroom in a more private location serving the bedrooms, and the size of the .

More recently, industrial warehouse buildings dating from the late 19th and early 20th century have also found new uses. It is the adaptability of these buildings that creates a vibrant urban structure: ever changing and lively, with different parts of the city developing different characters and generating new forms of urban contact and sociability.
