*5.2.3.2 Adaptability*

Sustainable development in relation to urban form is evaluated by the ability to adapt to changes over time [28]. In the late 1970s, architects and urban designers focused on improving the compatibility of the city's form via various uses and functions [8]. What is considered in this chapter is block adaptability resulting from various functions, as well as attention to the adaptability of uses in new developments as stressed by [22]. Also, there is the issue of climate adaptability, which is related to the arrangement of forms of blocks and factors such as sunlight and shading.
