Sintesi	Townscape analysis is the appraisal of the visual and physical character of towns, combining two traditions: Gordon Cullen's 'serial vision' approach, which reads the town as a sequence of unfolding views experienced by a moving observer, and the Conzenian school of urban morphology, which dissects the town through its plan, building fabric, and land use. Cullen's 1961 The Concise Townscape argued that the art of the environment lies in the relationships and emerging views between buildings and spaces, not in the objects alone. Together the two strands give townscape analysis both an experiential, qualitative side and a systematic, morphological one.	Urban form morphometrics is the systematic, quantitative measurement of the physical form of cities — the dimensions, shapes, spatial arrangement, intensity, and connectivity of buildings, plots, blocks, and streets. Rather than describing morphology in words, it computes hundreds of reproducible numerical characters on each morphological element and its local context, turning the qualitative tradition of urban morphology into a measurable science. The open-source momepy toolkit, introduced by Martin Fleischmann in 2019, standardized this workflow, building a morphological tessellation from building footprints and computing dimension, shape, distribution, intensity, and connectivity characters at scale.
