You have to give us more to go on than that.

You have not said what age, style, movement, materials, individuals, or any other clue on what you would like to write on.

Start narrowing your request down and maybe someone will be able to help you.

Actually I thought of basing my study on urban development, on the particularities of the regular mesh (advantages and disadvantages), highlight the differences with other European and American cities (such as? And why?), Analyze the role that some contemporary masters of architecture have had in determining the present form.
But many issues can be, someone can give me some advice? some link where I can find useful material.
thank you very much

This may sound bad, but do a bit of searching on here.

There is a thread about the street grid, as well as one that is titled something like the "curved streets of manhattan" or something similar.

You may get something to go on from one of them, then ask around a bit more and people maty be able to get you some specifics....

Hope you find a bit of what you need, and don't be afraid to ask when you start finding the specifics. Like I said, peopel have a lot of information here, but that also makes it more difficult to generalize at times...... (you are writing a thesis, not a book!!! )
