This research addresses various pertinent aspects which impacts morphological transformation in parochial human settlements. It has been observed that parochial human settlement premises are drastically changing from the core religious missions to other non-religious activities resulting to unknown and undefined parochial human settlement morphology. Basically morphological transformation is the science of building form related to architectural aesthetics of built environment. The other aspect of this study is the transformation which is largely the process of change from one state to another. It is a norm in architecture that building form follows its function. That is, the form of a church is different from that of a prison or hospital because of their varying functions. The form of a transformed parochial human settlement is different from that of a virgin parochial human settlement. Case study research strategy was employed to carry out the study and Msimbazi parochial human settlement was selected to be an investigation window for this research inquiry. It was found out that parochial human settlements are transforming because of societal social systems, population, culture, economy, life styles and spatial planning policies. Professionals and policy makers in the fields of spatial planning, architecture, engineering, sociology and the allied disciplines are urged to learn lessons drawn from Msimbazi parochial human settlement case study to be able to monitor and guide envisaged human settlement morphological transformation from neigbourhood to city level.
