Relationships with Other Fields of Knowledge

Abstract

The eighth chapter addresses the contributions of urban morphology to fundamental dimensions of our collective life in cities, in particular the social dimension, the economic dimension and the environmental dimension. Bearing in mind the practical achievement of this purpose, five specific issues from these three generic dimensions are selected: public health, social justice, heritage tourism, climate change and energy. The chapter discusses how to strengthen the channels of communication between each one of these issues and the field of urban morphology.
