Background of the study: Cities are the largest and most complex objects that human beings make. With a few exceptions, they come into existence not through once for all design but through a process of growth and change spread over tens, hundreds, or even
thousands of years. Each generation examines what it inherits, then extends, substitutes, re-arranges and adapts according to its needs, before passing it on to the next generation.
