Pravila građenja predstavljaju važan element sistema planiranja u Srbiji, koji povezuje različite oblike i razmere stručnih intervencija u prostoru, u prvom redu opštiji nivo planiranja sa konkretnijim nivoima projektovanja i izgradnje. Način na koji se formulišu, tumače i primenjuju pravila građenja u procedurama planiranja, projektovanja i građenja najdirektnije se odražava na kvalitet izgrađenog i životnog okruženja. U radu su izdvojena i sistematizovana profesionalna iskustva neposrednih učesnika u ovim procedurama, koja su prethodno izložena na tribini sa temom: Savremena arhitektonska praksa - institucionalni okvir i pravila građenja. Cilj je da se ukaže na probleme koji se javljaju u aktuelnoj praksi i podstakne šira debata. Rezultat tribine su zajednički stavovi koji predstavljaju osnovu za dalju diskusiju i delovanje u pravcu unapređenja profesionalne prakse.
