SPATIAL CONFIGURATION AND LAND USE PATTERN
Street patterns, spatial integration and land use patterns of Israeli city types with respect to planning approaches.
URBAN MORPHOLOGY
Our urban morphology studies concentrate on the spatial configuration and land use patterns of Israeli cities and the implications on the formation of social and functional urban areas.
