Morphological classification guide for urban areas based on remote sensing
Abstract
This article introduces a morphological analysis of urban areas which special characteristics depend on their spatial distribution, their structures and internal weaves. Predominant urban morphologies are identified and classified as well. Later, some classification criteria such as geometry, urban structures and textures are suggested and then related to natural, socioeconomic and cultural aspects that influence over the urban morphology. This analysis was carried out by using satellite imagery mainly taken from Google Earth.Downloads
