In this chapter, I describe space syntax, a recent configurational approach to urban
morphological studies that shows some conceptual similarities to the network analysis of …

More than forty years ago Jane Jacobs wrote the most influential book on urban
development in the post war era. 1 Immensely clear-sighted and poignant in its criticism it …

Urban morphology faces challenges of how to articulate the structure of the urban fabric on
at least two fronts. First, there are discontinuities between different morphological traditions …

The focus of space-morphology, a specific branch in urban morphology, is to 'uncover the
fundamental characteristics of urban geometries'(Moudon in Ordering space: types in …

Contemporary city-regional and metropolitan forms are today still grey areas of
morphological understanding, in large part due to the apparent lack of analytical methods …

This chapter provides an overview of established research traditions in the analysis of
physical elements of the built environment. Herein, we address the morphological, place …

This paper compares four different approaches to urban morphology: historico-
geographical, process typological, space syntax, and spatial analytical. It explores in …
