The term “urban form” is used to describe a city’s physical characteristics.

It refers to the size, shape,


and configuration of an urban area or its parts. How it will be understood, structured, or analyzed
depends on scale. Characteristics of the urban form range from, at a very localized scale, features such
as building materials, facades, and fenestration to, at a broader scale, housing type, street type, and
their spatial arrangement or layout. The concept of urban form encompasses also nonphysical aspects
such as density.
