Recognition of the homeostasis mechanisms in the spatial - physical structure of the city -

Abstract

The study of the historical development of our cities reveal a heterogeneous growth,
particularly in the case of large cities. Such a growth has been endemic to all the
developing world. The new movement has been the determinant factor in changing the
evolutionary process of shaping homgenous cities of the past.
In the ambiguity and confusion of loosing traditional thoughts, looking for
homogenizing and balancing mechanisms in traditional cities is urgently needed. The
Purpose of this research is to look for ways through which one could bridge the gap
between the past and the present in the cities and develop some guidelines and
mechanisms to govern current development trends. Efforts have been made first to
study the current life in these contexts, i.e., the configurations of cells, their production,
change, life, and death which follows a balanced growth. Organic growth in the
development of cities imply mutual interaction and eventually dynamic order in these
units. The final goal of the study is to achieve a desired quality of life for the present
and future generations. To achieve this, the determinant factors in shaping human
settlements should be organized, controlled and directed towards sustainability. This is
based on two key elements of sustainbility and survival.
