| Summary: | Today's still we are facing questions like what increases the quality of life or what makes a city livable. Based on what our existing cities and urbanism knowledge have given us until now we have a good source to answer these kind of questions with the analyzing. In a city, physical side is the most tangible element and morphological study is a frame to evaluate it. Four different approaches to urban morphology used in current analysis: historical and natural context, evolution process, space syntax and spatial structure. In addition, comparative analysis helps us to extract data that are more trustable by considering some case studies at the same time. It tried to understand which main Physical features have the largest effect on livability in cities from different contexts. With these regards, the case studies are eastern city like Shiraz (Iran), western city like Barcelona (Europe) and Izmir from Turkey, which locates between them. They are all successful examples in their own countries with almost same size and long urbanism history that make them more comparable. As a result, after passing the cities through a comparative analysis, the main physical factors, which have powerfully formed a character of them, has extracted.
