Often, when a problem arises, someone immediately declares: ‚There’s a regulatory gap to plug. What we need is a new rule‘. As if everything could be solved with a new regulation. And, when we think of a regulation that can fix things, generally what we have in mind is a verbal – preferably written – regulation. There are two aspects to highlight here. Firstly, behaviour can be regulated not only with verbal norms but also with non-verbal norms, like zoning maps or traffic signs. Secondly, behaviour may even be regulated without any specific rule: the speech is dedicated to this fascinating regulatory phenomenon, with specific attention to the fields of planning and architecture.
