Even though interest in urban form grew from the 1980s onwards, it is still relatively little known on how to teach it. This book, edited by Vitor Oliveira, presents a second book in the Urban Book Series of Oliveira’s significant contribution and effort to highlight the importance of the Urban Morphology as a discipline (Urban morphology: An introduction to the study of the physical form of cities (Oliviera, 2016) and J .W.
