The ever changing nature of
urban morphology of
cities throughout the world are often the result of the complex inter-relationships that have evolved in both a temporal and spatial format. This paper examines how diversification, agglomeration,
specialization, concentration and urbanization all complement and contradict each other in relation to the urban
mosaic. It also attempts to evaluate the role of the multitude of deterministic factors that give rise to distinctive areas of specialization within the city. In particular, reference is made to the CBD, inner cities and zones of
industrial development.
