25. Conzen was aware of this complexity. He wrote 'The theory of cognition is crucial to urban morphologists because urban settlements are areas of maximum concentration of different processes involving three different types of causality: physical, biotic and social, the latter being the most important one. German geographers call this evocatively Wirkungsgeffüge, a term that defies literal translation but can be accurately rendered as dynamic complex' (Conzen, M.R.G. (1998) 'A propos a sounder philosophical basis for urban morphology', Urban Morphology 2,113-14).
