determining measure, that which determines the size
Facades in east-west direction are the determining measure for the blocks.
The size of the (building) blocks is determined by the size of the east-west facades, or facades in east-west direction (of existing - or planned - construction/buildings) in the nearby area. Size increases in scale towards the periphery (randen).
