The idea that an evolutionary process is inherent in the sequence of building types that characterizes an area has been pursued in Euro-America, especially by Italian architects. It has hitherto attracted comparatively little attention elsewhere in the world. Findings on the history of residential building types in the Chinese city of Guangzhou and its environs are examined in relation to this idea. Though the history of building types is very different in China from that in Euro-America, an evolutionary process is shown to have occurred in the Guangzhou area. The principal rural building type in the nineteenth century – the sanjian lianglang house – and an early urban building type – the zhutongwu – are steps in the development of a number of later building types.

The format of local development plans and site-specific guidance tends to be based on land-use allocations rather than physical form. This approach has serious limitations, especially when dealing with urban design issues. A solution is available in a format that takes the outline of physical form as its starting point with land use as a subsidiary consideration. This approach can be incorporated into spatial planning policy. Furthermore, urban design principles imply perimeter block structures whose approximate sizes are largely predetermined and can be incorporated in site-specific guidance. This paper draws attention to innovation in planning practice in Britain and a particular example is described in detail. Local spatial policy for the town of Chelmsford made physical implications explicit. Planning briefs identifying both the perimeter block form and the location and character of the urban spaces were successful in improving the standard of design of new development.

Developments on the sites of bastion fortifications are often welldesigned expansions of city cores with mainly public buildings, representative residential buildings and public spaces. The transformation of bastion fortifications in the Croatian towns of Karlovac and Osijek in the earlytwentieth century resulted in the creation of urban landscapes that can be compared in their characteristics with similar areas in major cities such as Frankfurt, Hamburg and Copenhagen. Developments in these two towns are comparable to those in the nineteenth century in many parts of Europe. They are inner fringe belts forming boundary zones between historically and morphologically distinct housing areas.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century in western Europe a new urbanism emerged. Modern warfare and welfare, modern centralized state administration and modern liberties demanded new urban forms: unfortified towns, safe and healthy, expressing the structure of absolutist reign, and accommodating a growing `army' of civil servants. Neither existing fortified towns nor `ideal towns' of the past could fulfill the new demands. New towns had to be constructed and a new model found for them that broke the ties of tradition. Versailles offered such a model - a Palladian model, transposed from country to town. The case of its first application in Germany, the newly-founded town of Rastatt, is discussed.

The forces and events leading to the formation of the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF) are identified. ISUF is expanding the field of urban morphology beyond its original confines in geography, particularly into the domains of architecture and planning. Three schools of urban morphology, in England, Italy and France, are coming together, following seminal work by two morphologists, M.R.G. Conzen and Saverio Muratori. The bringing together of these schools provides the basis for an interdisciplinary field and the opportunity to establish common theoretical foundations for the growing number of urban morphologists in many parts of the world. ISUF's ambitious mission is to address real and timely issues concerning city building by providing a forum for thought and action which includes related disciplines and professions in different cultures. The potential of an interdisciplinary urban morphology to contribute to the understanding and management of urban development in a period of unprecedented change is discussed.

As cities are growing rapidly and more than half of the world’s population is living in urban areas, the quality of urban settlements has become a vital issue. The significant role of urban green spaces and vegetated areas has received attention from ecologists, environmentalists and planners. However, urban morphologists have only recently begun considering green space, and morphological analyses of green space are still rare. This study addresses this gap in historico-geographical and process typological approaches in order to examine the possibility of identifying ‘Green Space’ (GS) as an individual element in the urban structure. It proposes a systematic framework for assessing GS structure based on existing hierarchical theories in urban morphology that were introduced by M. R. G. Conzen, Caniggia, Kropf and Osmond. The framework is tested on the case study of the Çağlayan neighbourhood in Northern Nicosia to assess the opportunities provided by the framework, its limitations and factors that played a role in its successful implementation.
