Abstract
What explicitly interests MRG Conzen in the book about Alnwick, is a theory on urban form. is a theory (and not just method) in its origin aimed at the studies in geography, which is valid not only for other case studies, but also valuable for other fields of knowledge. In this sense, the study of the formation of a small urban centre acquires an ontological value as it deals with the fundamentals of urban knowledge: it investigates why and how an urban form is born, according to which laws it grows and changes into the current condition.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
