Towards analytical typologies of plot systems: Quantitative profile of five European cities

Abstract: The importance of the plot (also referred to as 'property') as one of the fundamental elements of urban form is well recognized within the field of urban morphology. Despite the fact that it is often described as the basic element in the pattern of land divisions, which are essential as organizational frameworks for urban form, studies offering comprehensive descriptions and classifications of plot systems are quite scant. The aim of the paper is to introduce a classification of plot systems into typologies ba… Show more

“…Redundancy increases in fragmented and smaller size blocks (Vialard, 2012). This is measured by the frontage index for plot or block which is a ratio between frontage street length and plot or block perimeter length (Bobkova et al, 2021).…”

“…Streets facilitate the accessibility to different urban spaces hosted mainly inside the city buildings. In a recent study, Bobkova et al (2021) added that some properties of the plots, like their frontages, correspond to essential qualities such as the ability to operate as an interface between street and building.…”

“…Recently however, advances in geographic data science, combined with growing availability of geospatial data, triggered a data-driven stream of urban morphology studies, named ‘urban morphometrics’ (e.g. ; Araldi and Fusco 2019; Bobkova et al, 2019; Dibble et al, 2019; Gil et al, 2012). Within this line of research, the paper aims to address the need for more systematic, scalable and efficient method for the detection and classification of morphological patterns.…”

“…More complex classifications involve hierarchical methods ( taxonomies ), which organise classes based on their mutual relationships like Serra et al (2018)’s hierarchical taxonomy of neighbourhoods built according to 12 morphological characters of street network, blocks and buildings, and the work by Dibble et al (2019) who hierarchically classify portions of urban area enclosed by main streets . More granular approaches include the work by Araldi and Fusco (2019), who classify street segments using 21 morphometric characters derived from street networks, building footprints and digital terrain model and research by Spatial Morphology Group at Chalmers University (Berghauser Pont et al, 2019a, 2019b; Bobkova et al, 2019) that classifies morphological elements of plots, streets and buildings through a handful of morphometric characters.…”
