Urbanism

• From Wikipedia-
  • Urbanism is the characteristic way of interaction of inhabitants of towns and cities (urban areas) with the built environment or – in other words – the character of urban life, organization, problems, etc., as well as the study of that character (way), or of the physical needs of urban societies or city planning. Urbanism is also movement of the population to the urban areas ( urbanization) or its concentration in them (degree of urbanization).

Quote

• “Architecture and urban design, both in their formal and spatial aspects, are seen as fundamentally configurational in that the way the parts are put together to form the whole is more important than any of the parts taken in isolation.” ― Bill Hillier, Space Is the Machine: A Configurational Theory of Architecture, 1996-2007 various editions)
