This paper draws on the findings of an on-going research project into the relationship between spatial networks and socio-economic activities in urban environments. It makes particular reference to spatial morphology, advancing a fresh perspective on a range of economic factors by showing how they can be translated into the 'qualitative' values of urban design. The research methodology combines Space Syntax analysis with socio-economic data from two different types of property market: the domestic (residential) and the non-domestic (commercial). Using the Welsh city of Cardiff, UK as a case study, the analysis demonstrates how the spatial configuration of Cardiff's street network relates to residential property values, identifying spatial patterns according to house prices and tax band values. Furthermore, it is shown how the non-domestic property market can be examined in relation to its network-accessibility in order to explain how different distributions of land-use value emerge over time. In summary, the paper advocates an approach to urban design practice informed by an awareness of how spatial morphology affects economic value and the social qualities of place.
