Abstract

The problem of urban growth and planning is related not only with a technical issue but, moreover, with questions of theories. There is not only a method to design cities. Assuming the vast area of urban morphology theory as a collection of multiple perspectives on the field, is it possible to determine a generative issue?The main question will take into consideration the analysis of urban space as a method of understanding and comparison. For instance, it is necessary to comprehend how the different ways of reading the city lead to a different perception of it. In the era of data, moreover, the dichotomy between analogical and digital analysis of the cities can give to the architect or planner a different perspective flawed by each specific point of view. Therefore, this distinct reading influence in itself the design processes. The primary issue now is to understand how the digital organization of the data and maps are shaping the cities. There are differences between an analogical analysis and a digital one? Are they giving different results? Is it just a matter of tools rather than processes of information? What is the method behind digital analysis and mapping? Can be computer-based analysis neutral? Out of it, there is another issue coming out from the process of simplification: the question of diagrams. Especially inside the mapping process, there can be some space for the diagram as a way of representation of data and urban forces inside the transformation process of the cities?
