Recently, urbanism interventions have caused major changes in the spatial and physical structure of Iran cities. These interventions have changed primary spatial organization pattern and the city′s main structure. In the process of this physical development in many historical cities, it has not been enough attention to the structure and historic core shape of the city and subsequently, problems such as the inability to adapt to the new physical changes, the lack of appropriate linkage with the available network structure and its diminution in the minds of people, have aggravated the historical cores. Recognition of the main cities structure and skeleton based on analysis of all components of cities is difficult and impossible. Space organization theory (space syntax) is one of the methods that has responded to the needs of cities' spatial analysis. This research, with the aim of investigating the impact of urban development plans on the spatial structure of the historical boundaries of Urmia investigating and analyzing the city structure in four important periods (2016-1996-1974-1930), using space organization method. Results of this study, demonstrated that was decreased functionality and coherence of the historical area and its relation to the totality of city structure affected by physical changes over time. And the inner structure of this area could not be linked to the city's overall structure. Also, a large part of the identity and physical values of texture are demolished by discontinuity of the main elements of the area. The functional importance of historical orders has been weakened and this means that rapid physical changes, had negative effects on the spatial structure of historical area.

Postmodernisation processes have increasingly decoupled this lifestyle from downtown areas, but the phenomena of hybridisation observed in the URFSURBS of San Diego include as a defining factor the 'condensation' -albeit not always univocal in manner or extent -of such lifestyle attributes (Baker 1990;Murphy 2007Murphy [1971Simmel 1950).…”

Geographical research on French and US suburbia has concentrated in recent decades on urban sprawl and concomitant processes of devaluation and exclusion. In the case of the French banlieues, with their much-publicised urban riots, this particular analytic focus has become overwhelming, with resultant loss to other developments and perspectives. However, certain districts in the first (or inner) ring of both French and US suburbia are currently showing distinct urbanisation tendencies in planning and architecture, evident in the new usage of brownfield sites and the ongoing demolition, replacement, and rededication of the older building core. Such processes induce population changes, e.g. the displacement of lower in favour of higher income groups. Overall, they result in an architectonic, social and cultural heterogeneity that escapes the specificity of received categories and merits the term hybridisation. The article describes and compares these processes as exemplified in Greater Paris and San Diego (Southern California).

“…The underground railway system, by contrast, speaks of an earlier modernity, one that was born in the industrial age, and developed in the early-twentieth century, producing in that course the now classic dialectic of alienation and progress analyzed by Georg Simmel (1998).…”

Paris-Amsterdam Underground Cities and CulturesCities and Cultures is an interdisciplinary humanities book series addressing the interrelations between contemporary cities and the cultures they produce. The series takes a special interest in the impact of globalization on urban space and cultural production, but remains concerned with all forms of cultural expression and transformation associated with contemporary cities. Edited by Christoph Lindner and Andrew Hussey amsterdam university pressThis book is published in print and online through the online OAPEN library (www.oapen.org) OAPEN (Open Access Publishing in European Networks) is a collaborative initiative to develop and implement a sustainable Open Access publication model for academic books in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The OAPEN Library aims to improve the visibility and usability of high quality academic research by aggregating peer reviewed Open Access publications from across Europe.Cover illustration: Sarah Guilbaud Some rights reserved.

The project developed from a pair of linked conferences on the topic of the underground -one held in Amsterdam in 2010 and the other in Paris in 2011 -which involved a lot of geographic and intellectual shuttling between the two cities on the part of the speakers. The benefit, we believe, can be seen throughout this book in the often surprising, sometimes strange, but always productive interconnections between the various chapters. Our thanks, therefore, to the speakers and audiences at both conferences for their energetic contributions, as well as to our respective institutions, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis and the University of London Institute in Paris, for providing financial support. For serious and substantial help in getting this book ready for publication, we are greatly indebted to Miriam Meissner at ASCA, whose editorial and research assistance tied many loose ends together. Most of all, we are grateful to the authors in this book for participating with such a collaborative spirit in the extended conversation involved in the project as a whole, from its guerrilla conference roots through to its final published form.
