Rashid's Blog: A Place for Inquisitive Souls

It is not  easy to develop a definition of urban space because such a definition must consider the social parameters of its constituent parts: urban and space. The difficulty of defining urban space is enhanced if one considers that urban space is an artifact of urbanization that describes the manner in which cities grow and societies become more complex. For example, a synergistic perspective of space situates the location of ‘‘urban’’ as an outcome of social and institutional forces associated with urbanization. In contrast, a structural perspective of space identifies ‘‘urban’’ as the product of social structures and relationships that typify urbanization.

Amid the upheaval from pandemic, spaces that affect all of our lives are undergoing tectonic and likely irreversible shifts. The workplace is changing. There are lessons from the disaster.One lesson is that we have to make our cities sustainable and resilient.

Neighborhoods which exhibit recognizable patterns in the ordering of buildings, spaces, and functions, variations within which nevertheless conform to an organizing set of principles are changing and being redefined . Urban Morphology is changing with changing Urban Footprint.
