Urban Block Structure is a spatial construct in urban planning that defines the geometric and configurational arrangement of built and open spaces within a city fabric, distinguished by its role in shaping the continuity, density, and connectivity patterns of compact urban form through the systematic organization of streets, plots, and public spaces.
