Abstract

Social and cultural factors play crucial roles in shaping urban transformations and developments. The differences in social development in different regions and stages make urban morphology varied but traceable. Taking Tours, France, as an example, this paper applies the Conzenian urban morphology method to analyse the evolution characteristics of urban morphology, street profile and plots under the influence of different social and cultural backgrounds and planning thoughts. Based on this analysis, the research analyses the impact of cultural differences between the Western and Chinese societies on urban morphology. The conclusions are as follows: 1. Tours has undergone a sequence of urban development patterns, including the historical core area, high-density residential zones, and garden suburbs, demonstrating temporal and spatial coherence in its urban form. 2. The urban forms in different periods are the results of the combined effects of factors such as religion, society, technology, and planning trends. 3. The significant social and cultural transformations in China after the reform and opening-up have caused a rupture in urban morphology, leading to the destruction of historical urban fabric. 4. In the context of future planning, it is important to emphasize the coherence of urban form development and pay attention to the property parcel scale as a reflection of social relationships. Additionally, it is recommended to adapt the Conzenian approach.
