Study of urban form is performed in order to understand the spatial structure and character of a metropolitan area, city, town, or village by examining the patterns of its component parts and the ownership or control and occupation. Urban form is closely related to scale and can be described as the “morphological attributes of an urban area at all ...
At a basic level, elements of urban form are commonly defined as streets, blocks, plots, and buildings. City streets, street blocks, plots, and buildings are combined in a specific way, resulting in different types of urban tissues. Some of these tissues are clearly identifiable and offer their cities a unique character. But there are also other ap...
There are various models of the general form of the cities. Some of them are (Lynch 1984): 1. 1.The star– The underlying presumption is that the best form of any city of moderate to large size is a radial star or “asterix.” It is organized around a single dominant center, of high density and mixed use, from which major transportation lines (4–8) ra...
The form of city is always willed and valued (Lynch 1984; Kostof 1991), though it is not always obvious due to its complexity. In his seminal book Good City Form, Kevin Lynch (1984) identifies three main normative theories – metaphors of general urban form that express social values – the cosmic model metaphor, machine metaphor, and organic metapho...

8. Feb. 2008 · City morphology is reflected in a hierarchy of different subcenters or clusters across many scales, from the entire city to neighborhoods, organized around key economic functions. These in turn reflect the resources needed to service them and the spatial range over which their demand is sustainable. Cities are thus classic examples ...
