Abstract

Urban sustainability has become a central concern in contemporary architectural and urban studies. This research investigates the role of urban morphology and architectural typology in shaping sustainable city identity. By analyzing theoretical frameworks proposed by Aldo Rossi and Rob Krier, the study explores how structural coherence, spatial continuity, and typological clarity contribute to environmental, social, and cultural sustainability. The research adopts an analytical–comparative methodology, examining selected urban models to highlight the relationship between form, function, and identity. The findings demonstrate that cities with clear morphological structures and coherent typological systems achieve higher levels of sustainability and long-term urban resilience.
