Today's 'Polis': Urban Morphology in Mexico City
Urban Morphology is the study of the processes and formations of human settlements. Through this, the study seeks to better understand the characteristics and dimensions as well as spacial structure of cities, towns, neighbourhoods as well as metropolitan areas. This is done by examining the patterns of its most fundamental components and the way it has been developed. One particular city caught my mind when in comes to urban morphology, Mexico City. Here are a few photos which illustrates the ancient geometric plans which define the urban metropolis that is Mexico City today.

Really interesting topic. Here's an approach which involved the dismantling and categorizing of modern city components taken from figure grounds of major cities.
