Focusing on urban morphology, this book addresses the urgent need for conservation of historical urban landscapes, particularly in developing countries facing rapid redevelopment. It introduces an integrated morphological approach for analyzing urban form through historical and socio-economic lenses, promoting context-sensitive management. The effectiveness of this method is illustrated through three diverse case studies: Ludlow in the UK, Chinatown in Singapore, and a historic quarter in Nanjing, China, showcasing its adaptability across different cultural settings.
