Abstract：

The study applied the space syntax method to investigate Manhattan’s urban form evolution and the partial and the overall impact of block combinations, so as to explore the interaction between urban form and urban socio-economic activities. According to the study, the elastic urban form of Manhattan makes it possible for the city to maintain a high accessibility in the process of urban form evolution, as well as its multi-centric and diverse urban form. The spatial morphological characteristics of the combined blocks with different functions indicate that urban form supports social and economic activities. This study has some reference significance for the spatial planning of high-density cities in China.
