      abstract = {This book is about the relation between scientific  research and professional practice on the built  environment. The physical form of cities is structured in  different elements of urban form. Each of these elements,  and the way they are combined into distinct patterns, is  shaped by various agents and processes of change. Planning,  urban design and architecture are practice-oriented  activities that have a significant impact on these  elements. Yet, this action on the physical form if cities  tends to be separated from scientific knowledge on this  complex object. In fact, none of these activities is  strongly related to urban morphology, the science of urban  form. There are many reasons for this gap. One of the  reasons is the lack of significant examples of how the  bridging process can happen. The book addresses this  specific issue. It gathers a number of cases, developed in  the last years in different geographical contexts from  Latin America to Eastern Asia that exemplify how to move  from scientific research to professional practice. Each  case, or set of cases, is presented in one chapter. The  first part of each chapter presents the morphological view  of his/her author(s) on the process of city building; the  second part exemplifies how this author moves from reading  to design.},
