Description
The use of typologies to better understand metropolitan areas has a long tradition within the field of urban studies, but they traditionally focus on separate elements. Thus, typology-based approaches tend to provide a greater depth regarding tangible differences of one spatial feature but cannot capture the interrelation between elements. Recently, various studies suggest typomorphology as a fruitful method to analyse urban form in a systematic, quantitative, exploratory, multi-dimensional and context-sensitive manner; thus, providing valuable insights into specific planning practices.
This study emphasises on the exploration and identification of the established and emerging spatial forms within the metropolitan area of Stavanger. The applied method combines a multivariate approach towards urban densities and statistical analysis techniques to measure similarities across the concrete case of Stavanger. In this manner, the study defines the density-typomorphological structure of the the whole metropolitan area. Furthermore, the study interrelates the defined profiles with the accessibility and intensities of key urban services. By doing so, the study explores the practical relationship between spatial densities and the distribution of urban amenities and concludes by outlining specific research assumptions in this respect.
