This open access book provides a comprehensive review of current theoretical and practical expertise at the confluence of urban morphology and urban rehabilitation. Its holistic perspective addresses theoretical explanations and approaches as well as practical experiences in the design of urban places. The extensive methodological section illustrates innovation and development in this area. The sections of Urban Morphology versus Urban Redevelopment and Revitalisation offer insights from several perspectives: political, social, cultural and economic. Each part examines the intersection with the field of morphological studies. The transformations of the urban fabric are the focus of the two final sections; they address historical processes and review current architectural and urban solutions.
