About the journal
Urban morphology is the study of the form of human settlements and the process of their formation and transformation. The study seeks to understand the spatial structure and character of a metropolitan area, city, town or village by examining the patterns of its component parts and the process of its development. This can involve the analysis of physical structures at different scales as well as patterns of movement, land use, ownership or control and occupation. Typically, analysis of physical form focuses on street pattern, lot (or, in the UK, plot) pattern and building pattern, sometimes referred to collectively as urban grain. Analysis of specific settlements is usually undertaken using cartographic sources and the process of development is deduced from comparison of historic maps.
Special attention is given to how the physical form of a city changes over time and to how different cities compare to each other. Another significant part of this subfield deals with the study of the social forms which are expressed in the physical layout of a city and conversely, how physical form produces or reproduces various social forms.
The essence of the idea of morphology was initially expressed in the writings of the great poet and philosopher Goethe (1790); the term as such was first used in bioscience. Recently it is being increasingly used in geography, geology, philology and other subjects. In American geography, urban morphology as a particular field of study owes its origins to Lewis Mumford, James Vance and Sam Bass Warner. Peter Hall of the UK is also a central figure.
Urban morphology is also considered as the study of urban tissue, or fabric, as a means of discerning the underlying structure of the built landscape. This approach challenges the common perception of unplanned environments as chaotic or vaguely organic through understanding the structures and processes embedded in urbanisation.
Instructions to Authors
Notes for the guidance of contributors to Urban Morphology
Papers should conform to the house style of previous issues of Urban Morphology. Authors are reminded that the readership of Urban Morphology is international and that papers are accepted for publication only after favourable review by at least two independent referees. They should be in English and should preferably not exceed 4000 words with an English abstract in less than 200 words and up to five key words. Since the authorship of papers is not made known to referees, the name and address of the author(s) should be on a separate sheet. Where possible, submission of the paper on disk in addition to two copies of the typed manuscript would be appreciated. IBM compatible disks are accepted, formatted in WordPerfect or unformatted as an ASCII file. Papers should be typed single column with double spacing and with wide margins. Spelling follows the Concise Oxford dictionary. All measurements should be expressed in the metric system.
Notes and references
These should be typed at the end of the paper, using double spacing. Authors may choose one of two systems of giving references. (1)The Harvard system in which authors' names (no initials) and dates are given in the body of the text - for example (Biddle and Hill, 1971) - and the references are listed alphabetically at the end of the paper under the heading `References' in the following form:
Beresford, M.W. (1967) New towns of the Middle Ages (Lutterworth, London).
Biddle, M. and Hill, D. (1971) `Late Saxon planned towns', Antiquaries Journal 51, 70-85.
Conzen, M.R.G. (1968) `The use of town plans in the study of urban history', in Dyos, H.J. (ed.) The study of urban history (Edward Arnold, London) 113-30.
(2)A system in which numbers are inserted in the text - for example3,4 - and references to these are given in numerical order at the end of the paper (under the heading `Notes') in the following form:
3.Thomas, D. (1963) `London's Green Belt', Geographical Journal 129, 14-24.
4.Thompson, F.M.L. (ed.) (1982) The rise of suburbia (Leicester University Press, Leicester).
Illustrations and tables
Line drawings, which should be of professional quality, and photographs should be the size of the intended reproduction. Potential contributors are encouraged to scale their illustrations to make full use of the journal's page size. All illustrations should be numbered consecutively, and the number should be pencilled on the back of each. All illustrations must have captions. A typed list of these, double spaced, should be included on a separate sheet after the notes or references in the following style:
Figure 1. Distribution of house types.
Particular care should be taken with the layout of tables, each of which should be typed on a separate sheet. These should be set out using no vertical rules and as few horizontal rules as possible, and with wide margins on all sides.
Title page
A separate title page should include the title of the paper, and the name(s), main professional/academic affiliation(s) and full address(es), including e-mail address(es), of the author(s).
Headings
Only the first letter and proper names are capitalized. Headings are placed against the left-hand margin, primary sub-headings being in bold and secondary sub-headings being in italic.
Numerals
Numerals should be used for all units of measurement, but in the case of quantities of objects, persons etc., the figures from one to twenty should be spelt out (for example: ten people, ten cases; but 10 days, 10 km, 24 inhabitants, 6400 m).
