In the face of growing 21st-century urban challenges, this study emphasizes the role of remote sensing data in objectively defining urban structure types (USTs) based on morphology. While numerous UST delineation approaches exist, few are universally applicable due to data constraints or impractical class schemes. This article attempts to tackle this challenge by summarizing important approaches dealing with the computation of USTs and to condense their contributions to the field of research within a single comprehensive framework. Hereby, this framework not only serves as a conjunctive reference for currently existing implementations, but is also independent regarding the input data, spatial scale, or targeted purpose of the mapping. It consists of four major steps: (1) the collection of suitable data sources to describe the building morphology as a key input, (2) the definition of a spatial mapping unit, (3) the parameterization of the mapping units, and (4) the final classification of the mapping units into urban structure types. We outline how these tasks can lead to a UST classification which fits the users’ needs based on their available input data. At the same time, the framework can serve as a protocol for future studies where USTs are mapped, or new approaches are presented. This article closes with an application example for three different cities to underline the flexibility and applicability of the proposed framework while maintaining maximized objectivity and comparability. We recommend this framework as a guideline for the use-specific mapping of USTs and hope to contribute to past and future research on this topic by fostering the implementation of this concept for the spatial analysis and a better understanding of complex urban environments.

“…In the context of Ecuadorian secondary cities, planners were catering for the elites based on visions from cities of the global North rather than utilising available resources for all residents. More recent Cities contributions include: Krishnamurthy et al ( 2016), who profile Pune, India, a secondary tier II city lacking the institutional capacity to manage urbanisation; Oranje et al (2020), who explore the overlookedness of non-metropolitan urban South Africa located in predominantly rural areas and the way formal and informal institutions provide a range of municipal services; Ma et al (2021) provide an analysis of 23 Chinese cities including third, fourth and fifthtier cities exploring how local governments move from promotion to marketing to city branding; and Scarwell and Leducq (2021) consider the tensions between global aspirational and local realities of the secondary city Danang, Vietnam. These contributions offer a valuable examination of emerging trends and processes in such cities and a richer understanding of overlookedness.…”

“…The city is the only main hub in central Vietnam with a deep-water port and international airport, offering direct connections across Asia. As a maritime city, it is undergoing rapid urbanization supported largely by overseas investment (Scarwell and Leducq 2021). A core component of its maritime image is the development of tourist resorts and seafood restaurants along its coastline on Son Tra peninsula, a low-lying region stretching as far south as the UNESCO World Heritage site Hoi An.…”

Urban Development and Fishing Livelihoods in the Museum: Nostalgia and Discontent in Central Vietnam

This article explores how the topics of fishing and urban development are addressed in a Vietnamese social history museum. Drawing on a project taking place in the Museum of Danang, it describes the way the museum represented the voices of a displaced fishing community who were moved from traditional fishing huts on the riverside to a social housing complex as part of Danang’s urban development plan in the 2000s. Capturing the impact of the community’s relocation on their fishing livelihoods through an exhibition of objects, photographs and texts, the article reveals ways in which nostalgia is recruited to make social, political and moral commentary on urban equality and livelihood change in a rapidly developing city. Methodologically, the project explored the limits of critical representation in an authoritarian state and how nostalgia can be understood as a subtle call for ethical action.
