Focusing on the pattern of urban grain and the distribution of public, private and semi-public / private spaces within the city.
Areas within the city walls are seemingly more "organic" but have vague traces of former order left from Roman occupation. This grid was gradually disintegrated by Moorish occupation, then became more radial and defensive in medieval times. This rich tapestry cannot be read as a single dichotomy of either "planned" or "organic", it is important to understand the historic implications on the urban fabric and external space.
