These terms are often seen in the field of urban design, what is the difference between them?
There is no clear answer to this question because these terms can be used depending on the context of urban analysis. Urban fabric/ tissue can be generally described as a structure such as an old city or a new city. When we want to consider the dispersion of development, we could consider using the term granularity or grain of the city tissue.
Piotr Sobierajewicz Thank you very much for your reply. I benefited a lot!
Piotr Sobierajewicz By the way, I have a problem that needs your help.
The spatial scene is defined as a collection of spatial objects and their particular spatial arrangement (Nedas, 2008).
In the city design domain, road and building are two fundamental elements for urban structure analysis. There are various pattern types due to the spatial distribution of building and road(e.g. linear buildings along the straight road, etc.).
I would like to know the typology of spatial scene patterns(rather than building pattern or road pattern), or if there are any relevant literatures discussing them.
Thank you very much!
Although I would not claim to have a definitive answer, i would speculate that the Urban Fabric is everything within the rural urban interface, the urban tissue would be the content of vital services such as road right of way, power, water lines and other services that keep the city "alive". The urban grain can be determined by transect, for interest a transect along the mainstreet of a city going along with the traffic flow would be going with the grain, a transect that bisects several major roads along a minor road would be against the grain. Hopefully this brings out some good discussion.
Yes, we can discuss whether the urban tissue is a finished organism that must die? and in its place something new will arise. From another point of view, the urban tissue is a spatial form created in a process according to specific ideas, laws, systems, e.g. the Hippodamos plan, the Greek city, the Roman city, E. Howard- garden city or contemporary ideas of sustainable cities. In all cities, building and communication systems should be placed in hard compositional assumptions characterizing the urban fabric, but the remaining part such as: technical infrastructure is an expression of progress and new technologies of our times towards smart cities.
In the Theory of Urban Fabrics (Newman, Kosonen and Kenworthy, 2016) we have identified three main urban fabric types that constitute the urban fabric.
Special thanks to Zheng Zhang, who initiated this discussion; as you can see, the issue of urban fabric is evolving and can resemble a changing organism or ecosystem, if you prefer.
By the way, one question remains puzzling.The spatial scene is defined as a collection of spatial objects and their particular spatial arrangement (Nedas, 2008).

El "tejido urbano" es el conjunto general de vias, parcelas o lotes y centralidades de una ciudad o de un sector de la ciudad.
La "trama urbana" esta vinculada al diseño y la disposición particular de la vías y de las parcelas o lotes que conforman un "tejido urbano".
El "grano urbano" es una descripcion del patrón físico de las parcelas o lotes de un "tejido urbano" o de una "trama urbana", en una ciudad o en un sector de la ciudad.
