Urban Form and Liveability

About this issue

Issue number

Volume 48 – Number 3

Summary

This issue of Built Environment discusses the aspects of liveability with a specific focus on urban form. In doing so, it aims to explore the possible ways to inject a sociological perspective into urban morphology. To that end, the seven papers in the issue cover different dimensions of urban form and liveability.
