    On the relationship between urban form and amenities: A new perspective from Qom (Iran)
    (Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Venerandi Alessandro; Zamani Vahid; Porta Sergio
    Amenities are fundamental for urban life as they promote socio-economic interactions and enhance city dynamics. Previous studies investigated the relationship between metrics of street network centrality and urban amenities. However, they hardly focused on further aspects of the built environment. A further drawback is that relationships were mainly assessed through linear models even though more complex and non-linear relationships plausibly exist. In this work, we, first, comprehensively describe the urban form of our case study, the city of Qom (Iran), through a set of 55 morphometrics computed at the plot level; second, we investigate the relationship between these metrics and density of amenities, through a set of machine learning techniques that handle non-linear behaviours. The best model explains up to 45% of the variance of the density measure, with coverage ratio, plot size, floor area ratio, street canyon width, and betweenness centrality being the top five explanatory factors. While the findings of this work do not have universal value, the methodology can be replicated to explore the same research question in different contexts. It can also be used as an evidence-based tool to inform design choices in urban redevelopment affecting the location of amenities in cities.

    Transformation of urban tissue along downtown arteries Morphometric evaluation of resilient urban form
    (Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Kowalski Kamil; Hanzl Małgorzata
    The complexity of urban processes, which occurred in post-socialist countries after the second world war, contributed to the creation of underdeveloped urban tissue that was, in many cases, resistant to changes. This applies particularly to cities that grew rapidly, such as Lodz. Unfinished processes of transforming urban tissue along urban arteries are still an unsolved problem of the city centre of Lodz. This article aims to compare and evaluate resilience of urban tissue that have taken place over the years along newly built urban arteries. The research contributes to the methodology of urban morphometry. We consider the construction of the most important transportation routes in Lodz as representative example. Based on the measurements of urban tissue elements, we assessed the dynamics of the changes taking place in the spatial structure along the main urban arteries. Besides, the aggregated data enabled us to reflect on the reasons for the transformations and their context. This study is in line with the current trend of searching methods supporting the evaluation of resilient urban form. In addition, the article continues the research initiated by Professor Marek Koter, whose study was a pioneering Polish solution in the implementation of quantitative methods to assess the transformation of the urban tissue.

    Taxonomy of contemporary urban forms in France: Towards an Urban Atlas through Multiple Fabric Assessment
    (Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Fusco Giovanni; Araldi Alessandro; Emsellem David; Overal Denis
    Bridging southern and northern Europe, France presents very diversified urban landscapes, combining vernacular cores, modernist developments, sprawling suburbia and very specific exurbs. Traditional urban and rural landscapes weredifferent among French cultural regions, whereas more recent ones are apparently more homogeneous throughout the country. Research in urban morphology and heritage conservation produced considerable knowledge about French traditional urban forms. On the contrary, attention to more recent forms and non-residential areas, as well as to their contributionto contemporary French cityscapes is more recent. The identification and characterisation of France’s urban fabricsand morphological regionalization of French cities remained for long a complex task, traditionally based on in-depth assessments, restricted to specific historical, geographical, and cultural contexts. Recent advancements in morphometric analysis propose innovative computer-aided protocols overcoming these limits. Among them, Multiple Fabric Assessment is a Bayesian streetscape-based urban morphometric protocol for morphological regionalization. First presented at ISUF2017, MFA has already been applied to several urban areas with diverse sociocultural contexts and geographical scales. MFA has been further developed and upscaled to analyse and compare wider study areas. The paper presents its implementation for four metropolitan areas of France, around the cities of Lyon, Marseille-Aix-en-Provence, Lille-Roubaix-Tourcoing and Nice-Cannes-Antibes, allowing a multiscale comparative analysis of French urban forms. A shared taxonomy of urban fabric types (morphotypes) for the different case studies is proposed. The outcome of these analyses is a first contribution to a national atlas of morphologically regionalized metropolitan areas.
