  Issues: How Does the Area Fit Into the Urban Structure?
Attempts to plan the development in cities of developing countries and to improve the housing standards are often confounded by the autonomous action of low-income squatters and clandestine developers.
Often families deliberately build their houses as duplex apartments- one apartment for themselves, the other for rent or for the occupation by the second generation who will be on hand to assist the parents in their old age.
Successful urban planning and low-income housing policies in transitional contexts depend on the alignment of government action with the priorities and forces of popular settlement.

 AIArchitect, April 25, 2005 - Best Practices – The Structure of Urban Design Projects
The process of creating an achievable vision—which some urban designers liken to a political campaign, a sort of battle for the hearts and minds of participants—incorporates steps analogous to designing a building but with a very different emphasis.
The urban designer and other support staff work with the client and community to ensure all participants have an opportunity to learn from each other, usually through workshops and community meetings.
Urban design products tend to focus on materials that communicate ideas—planning concepts, conceptual site designs, or the scale and character of potential buildings and public spaces.

This starts by elaborating the different conceptions of urban structure, and how these relate significantly to transport, before analysing the historical relationship between transport and urban structure.
  Some preliminary analysis of structure – the structure of hierarchies – is undertaken at this stage, and some preliminary conclusions drawn on the type of hierarchy that may be desirable.
Given the multitude of structures that are theoretically possible, Chapter 9 then seeks an explanation for the kinds of real patterns observed in practice, in particular the superficially ‘amorphous’ patterns of traditional urbanity.

 Urban structure
It has been widely suggested in geographical textbooks that urban models can be used to describe the generalised shapes and patterns that towns and cities will develop.
For example, if many urban models suggest that a town’s Central Business District (CBD) will be found in the settlement's geographical centre, what sort of weight should we give to such statements?
