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.enDla wszystkich w zakresie dozwolonego użytkuFair use conditionurban morphometricsstreetscapeurban fabricmorphotypesmultiple fabric assessmentFrancemorfometria miastakrajobraz ulicznytkanka miejskamorfotypywielokrotna ocena tkankiFrancjakonferencja - rozdziałLicencja PŁLUT License10.34658/9788367934039.26
