Abstract
The Cyprus Network of Urban Morphology (CyNUM), established in 2016, is a bicommunal initiative led by scholars residing both in the North and the south of Cyprus. The aim of the network is to promote research on the urban form of Cypriot cities and support its dissemination in Cyprus and abroad. CyNUM also acts as a platform for knowledge exchange and networking among researchers who have a specific interest in Cypriot cities and the wider Eastern Mediterranean region. Because of the relative youth of universities in Cyprus, all leading urban morphology scholars trained in other countries and brought to Cyprus the approaches linked to their alma mater. In the country, there is a strong focus on two approaches: the historico-geographical and the configurational, although typo-morphological studies also exist. Since its inception, the network has made efforts to exchange knowledge, access expertise from other countries and develop various research strands through individual research, funded projects, and scientific events, including regional conferences and hosting the 2019 ISUF Conference. This paper reviews the background to the network, its activities and research outputs to critically discuss avenues for future development of Cypriot morphological research based on the direction of current and proposed future projects.
