This study aims to provide a unifying conceptual framework represented by morphological aspects of city block as spatial units. Through a conceptual comparative approach, the framework draws upon a typomorphological approach that integrates the process typological approach and historico-geographical approach. The findings revealed that there were three main phases in construing the framework.
