Nordic and International Urban Morphology:

[i]Distinctive and Common Themes[/i] 3 - 5 September 2006 Stockholm, Sweden Co-sponsored with the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF) and organised by the Nordic Network of Urban Morphology. Urban morphology is the field of architectural and built form research, which has gained immense international recognition and respect. Urban form has always been, and still is, in the focus of the development of knowledge on the city, consisting of both cognitive and normative theories. The growing international interest in urban morphology as an interdisciplinary field of research led in the mid 1990s to the establishment of the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF). It is within the frame of ISUF activities and its promotion for the creation of regional entities of urban morphology that the Nordic Network of Urban Morphology (NNUM) was recently formalized. The NNUM seeks to promote typological and morphological studies of the Nordic built environment, and this by organizing Nordic and International conferences and PhD courses.
