VisLondon :UCL Press,2018.©2018.1 online volumehardback version : 9781787351073 paperback version : 9781787351066 Includes bibliographical references and index."Cities Made of Boundaries presents the theoretical foundation and concepts for a new social scientific urban morphological mapping method, Boundary Line Type (BLT) Mapping. Its vantage is a plea to establish a frame of reference for radically comparative urban studies positioned between geography and archaeology. Based in multidisciplinary social and spatial theory, a critical realist understanding of the boundaries that compose built space is operationalised by a mapping practice utilising Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Benjamin N. Vis gives a precise account of how BLT Mapping can be applied to detailed historical, reconstructed, contemporary, and archaeological urban plans, exemplified by sixteenth to twenty-first century Winchester (UK) and Classic Maya Chunchucmil (Mexico). This account demonstrates how the functional and experiential difference between compact western and tropical dispersed cities can be explored. The methodological development of Cities Made of Boundaries will appeal to readers interested in the comparative social analysis of built environments, and those seeking to expand the evidence-base of design options to structure urban life and development."--Page 4 de la couverture.UrbanismeAspect socialramSociologie urbaineramUrban geographyfast(OCoLC)fst01162435Urban archaeologyfast(OCoLC)fst01162367Sociology, Urbanfast(OCoLC)fst01123961Geographic information systemsfast(OCoLC)fst00940423City planningSocial aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00862253City planningMethodologyfast(OCoLC)fst00862235Cities and townsfast(OCoLC)fst00861748Cartographyfast(OCoLC)fst00848025Boundariesfast(OCoLC)fst00837076FrontieresArcheologie urbaineSystemes d'information geographiqueCartographieVillesCartesGeographie urbaineSociologie urbaineBoundariesUrban archaeologyGeographic information systemsCartographyCities and townsMapsCity planningSocial aspectsCity planningMethodologyUrban geographySociology, UrbanMaps.Electronic books.
