This is a book about cities or, more precisely, about the physical
form of cities. It starts presenting the main elements of urban
form - streets, urban blocks, plots and buildings - structuring our
cities and the fundamental actors and processes of transformation
shaping these elements. It then applies this analytical framework
to describe the evolution of cities over history as well as to
explain the functioning of contemporary cities. After the initial
focus on the 'object' (cities) the book describes how different
researchers and different schools of thought have been dealing with
this object since the emergence of Urban Morphology, as the science
of urban form, in the turning to the twentieth century. Finally,
the book tries to identify what are the most important (and
specific) contributions that Urban Morphology has to offer to
contemporary cities, societies and economies.
