Abstract
Morphological theories shape the leading platform to theoretically and practically consider the assets connected with the emergence of the city, and its growth and development over time. In this paper, five elements of the urban form are typified: structure/tissue, plot, building, block, and the street pattern will be addressed. Understanding the urban form at the different levels within its ingredients could lead to shape a base launch of how to consider the potentiality of the development and sustainability of a particular area.

Morphological theories shape the leading platform to theoretically and practically consider the assets connected with the emergence of the city, and its growth and development over time
The hierarchy defines the scope of morphological studies; addressing the urban form at different scales of a city is a critical point in determining the range of this current research, which lies within a considerable selected boundary but is embedded within the four types of urban morphology
This paper referred to the elements of the urban form as the origin of morphological studies and examined their role in formulating the urban structure as a spatial configurative pattern
Summary
There is an increasing awareness of the morphological principles of the city form and the types of processes and methods that are adopted, as physical entities, and as inherent powers. Tracking the assets of a city to understand the nature of the built environment has led to several types of approaches and seen the development of three leading schools of urban morphology, namely the British, Italian, and French. This development aims to understand the mutations that have taken place during the modern movement and their effect on the old parts of cities including the subsequent of the changes to its social life and human interactions with the new environment. The hierarchy defines the scope of morphological studies; addressing the urban form at different scales of a city is a critical point in determining the range of this current research, which lies within a considerable selected boundary but is embedded within the four types of urban morphology
