I do not.
Personality is an interesting topic. I love Hackney or the area around Wapping; there's certainly a personality around Muswell Hill and Highgate; the Barbican is brilliant and unique, etc. But the Liverpool Street Station area? Nah.
Not that for example Budapest has a face everywhere: it has a decent amount of socialist blocks that you can find anywhere in the former Eastern Block, and a lot of generic housing areas, but the inner circle is quite heavily regulated, especially on the height of buildings.
As for regulations: regulations on what looks are allowed. The question mark for the walkie-talkie was because it's a collector mirror, and whoever designed it should have realized that it's dangerous.
