本文从康赞的城市形态学传统出发，探讨了中国城市微形态的概念。在这里，直到最近，城市的真实平面图才能准确地显示街道、地块和建筑区块平面图，这是传统平面分析的障碍。本文利用地方志、其他地方文献、历史照片和现存历史建筑等资料，对苏州观前地区的一个公共建筑群和两个私人住宅群进行了微观形态分析。各种形态要素的相对持久性得到证明。形态学和政治社会经济学之间有联系。微形态学对城市设计、管理和决策具有潜在的价值。
In light of the Conzenian tradition of urban morphology, this paper explores the concept of micromorphology in China. Here the widespread absence until recently of true ground plans of cities showing accurately streets, plots and building block-plans is an obstacle to conventional plan analysis. Using such sources as local gazetteers, other local writings, historical photographs, and existing historical buildings, this paper undertakes a micromorphological analysis of a public building complex and two private house complexes in the Guanqian area, Suzhou. The relative persistence of various morphological elements is demonstrated. Links are made between morphology and political social economy. Micromorphology is shown to be potentially valuable for urban design, management and policy-making.
