Abstract Urban structure can be divided into morphological elements working as physical frame, and functional elements located onto it. And integrating these two properly in an urban structure is an important part of planning. This study examines configuration and interrelation between morphological and functional elements in Pohang which went through massive change over time. As a result of it, it was found that their relationship tended to become loose as street grid changed and urban functions shifted without proper restructuring. Also, the plan of central places seemed not reflecting the changes in street grid properly thus remaining as a nominal territorial division plan. Street grid network is a basic morphological element authoring the pattern and direction of urban flows. Thus in all the public policies influencing urban structure, a strategic planning to integrate these two elements in the urban structure is highly required.
