URBAN SHAPES AND URBAN GRIDS: a comparative study of Adriatic and Ionian coastal cities

by Ermal Shpuza

This paper models in a precise quantitative manner the proposition that the properties of urban shapes strongly and significantly affect the syntactic properties of urban grids. Urban shapes are described according to three measures of shape compactness and fragmentation and their skewness of distribution. The analysis of a large sample of coastal cities has shown that urban shapes affect the integration of urban grids according to the underlying principles of grid morphology.
