multiplicity of urban forms

The multiplicity of urban forms refers to the diverse ways cities are structured and organized. It recognizes that cities are not uniform; they include various neighborhoods, building styles, street layouts, and scales driven by history, culture, geography, and social needs. This variety reflects how people use and experience urban spaces differently. Understanding this diversity helps planners and designers create environments that are functional, inclusive, and adaptable, respecting the unique character of each city and accommodating different lifestyles and activities within the urban landscape.
