This paper is divided into three sections: the first focuses on plot subdivision as a key aspect of urban form the second illustrates the case of the heritage village of New Gourna in Luxor and the third includes discussion and implications of adopting a plot-based morphological approach to control morphological transformation in heritage contexts. The present study seeks to assist decision-makers in their attempt to control urban change in heritage areas through a plot-based approach. Mechanisms controlling plot subdivision, however, can play an effective role in guiding developments and in controlling urban change in heritage settings. Yet, uncontrolled change of land plots, which represent a significant element of urban form, leads to uncontrolled change in buildings' configurations and typologies threatening accordingly the urban character of heritage contexts. As historic cities evolve, change in their urban form can be expected.
