It provides an overview of the main elements of urban formstreets, street blocks, plots and buildingsstructuring our cities and the fundamental agents and processes of transformation shaping these elements. It 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 introduces how 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 identifies the main contributions of urban morphology to cities, societies and economies. This second edition of the book offers updated and more accurate knowledge on several morphological issues, presents expanded contents, and it has a more explicit didactic nature, including a set of exercises in the end of each chapter, that will help teachers and students (in architecture, geography, planning, history, sociology and urban studies) in acquiring and consolidating their urban morphological knowledge. 001443256 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed December 22, 2021). 001443256 650_0 $$aUrban geography. 001443256 650_0 $$aCulture$$xStudy and teaching. 001443256 650_0 $$aSustainable development. 001443256 650_6 $$aGéographie urbaine. 001443256 650_6 $$aCulture$$xÉtude et enseignement. 001443256 650_6 $$aDéveloppement durable. 001443256 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001443256 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z303092453X$$z9783030924539$$w(OCoLC)1283138263 001443256 830_0 $$aUrban book series. 001443256 852__ $$bebk 001443256 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-92454-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001443256 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1443256$$pGLOBAL_SET 001443256 980__ $$aBIB 001443256 980__ $$aEBOOK 001443256 982__ $$aEbook 001443256 983__ $$aOnline 001443256 994__ $$a92$$bISE
