 lt environment has been claimed as the historic environment and all develo
 pment is subject to the standards of sustainability. At the same time\, ur
 ban design has reached a plateau of institutionalisation. Karl Kropf delve
 s into the body of urban morphological theory to explore the substance of 
 urban design and find new points of reference for debate and new sources o
 f energy and impetus for design. \n\n*Biography:* Karl Kropf is a Director
