morphological urbanism

Morphological urbanism is an approach to city design that focuses on shaping urban spaces based on their physical form, structure, and spatial relationships. It studies how buildings, streets, parks, and other elements interact and organize to create functional, aesthetic, and sustainable environments. Instead of just planning for land use or infrastructure, it considers how the city's form influences movement, social interactions, and identity. This approach allows for adaptable, context-sensitive development that responds to the unique characteristics of each urban area, promoting more coherent, resilient, and human-centered cities.
