Abstract

This article deals with the relationship between the field of urban morphology and the practice of urban design. The research develops a morphological method to analyze the basic cognitive operations required to design built environments and to reveal their relationship patterns in connection with existing urban form. The three building-centric urban design projects studied here in Montreal (Canada), aimed at defining more sustainable forms, are intended to make cities and human settlements more inclusive and resilient. In this context, our research question is at what level the projects developed by the teams of urban designers address the concepts of sustainability.
