With the exception of urban morphology, the overall cultural influence upon cities has received inadequate attention in the field of urban geography. Yet every culture influences all aspects of its cities in a way different from all other cultures. This in turn results in modified types of cities which can be grouped according to culturalgenetic, rather than functional or economic criteria. In spite of only sporadic empirical observations in this subject, a theory of the cultural-genetic classification of cities is initiated. Future research will determine whether or not evidence in support of this theory can be produced.
