This edited volume is a valuable resource for urban morphology, the study of urban forms and structures. It offers a mathematical perspective, providing insights into various aspects of the field, such as street networks, sustainability, and urban growth. Experts in mathematical modeling techniques contribute their expertise to explore specific topics, including fractals, cellular automata, networks, complexity, and quantitative models.

The book is organized into five parts. The first part focuses on fractals and explores how self-similar structures emerge through competition. The second part explores cellular automata, generating fractal forms. The third part examines networks, including street networks and other forms. The fourth part explores complexity and its relationship to urban structures. The fifth part introduces various quantitative models for studying urban morphology.

In the final section, multidisciplinary commentaries offer readers new ways of understanding the relationship between mathematics and urban forms. This book is particularly valuable for applied mathematicians, urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in cities from the perspectives of economics, sociology, architecture, or geography.

As the first book on this topic, Mathematics of Urban Morphology serves as an essential resource for advancing our understanding of urban dynamics and planning. It provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to studying urban forms and structures, leveraging mathematical tools and methodologies to unravel the complexities of urban environments.
