Regular = planned versus irregular = spontaneous: the birth and death of a dichotomous relationship in historical studies of urban form

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This paper analyses one important theoretical relationship on the historical studies of urban form. This relationship establishes the connection between regular urban forms and planned urban development and, by contrast, between irregular urban forms and unplanned urban development. Starting from the initial formulation established in the inaugural texts of the history of urbanism, the impact of this dichotomous relationship on morphological research will be examined, as well as the transformations of the last decades, which led to its refute, using for this purpose the methodological, theoretical and conceptual inputs of some studies developed after the second half of the twentieth century.
