Abstract
The built environment witnessed rapid transformation after the industrial revolution. This transformation came along with some negativities, which gave rise to the concept of sustainability in urban form. In this regard, the current study aimed to assess and validate the reciprocal relationship between urban morphology and sustainable urban form. This study proposes a conceptual model which integrates and presents the holistic correlation between sustainable urban form and urban morphology, by using qualitative grounded theory as the research methodology. The model was developed by introducing analytical tools to evaluate sustainability, along with integrating typo-morphology and the concept of scale hierarchy. The findings of this study reveal that every single component of sustainable urban form interacts significantly with the typo-morphology approach. Consequently, the outcomes help urban planners to get more informed decisions about the geometric analysis of urban morphology from a sustainability point of view.
Highlights
The emergence of the notion of sustainable development has created a platform to enable a public debate on the form of cities to take place [1]
After World War II, the industrial revolution was unanimously embraced since it presented a global development that stretched and impacted numerous interwoven networks of dimensions such as sociocultural, religious, political, and economic [9,10]
The study developed the model to demonstrate the interrelations between sustainability and urban morphology
Summary
The emergence of the notion of sustainable development has created a platform to enable a public debate on the form of cities to take place [1]. It has subsequently motivated researchers, decision-makers, and urban planners in related disciplines to seek sustainable forms of development that are beneficial for the built environment. Considering this fact, morphological analysis of urban tissue reveals the logic of urban transformation, urban morphology can be a valuable implement to achieve sustainable urban form [2,3].
