Abstract
This chapter includes 4 case studies extracted from different projects. It considers the problems of spatial structure at three levels: the whole structure of traditional city, the neighborhood system, and the urban block as the principle urban unit. It is not intended to repeat the ideas and views of the scholars that have been referred to in the first two parts of the present book. But it intends to consider several basic problems and solutions of the hot arid zone cities. Four case studies include the following:
-
Urban design in the inner core of the historic city of Yazd,
-
