Structure of dissertation chapters

r/

Hi guys
I am outlining my phd dissertation.

  1. My supervisor has suggested to use the three chapter format since the beginning. However my research is based on an area whose current and past history i want to talk about because based on this context i am raising my three questions (the following three chapters) (I am from urban planning/urban studies domain). Does this become a second chapter after the introduction??
    How is this monograph-situations structured? Any suggestions?

  2. In a general sense how is the structure a chapter different from a paper?

    This is a great follow-up discussion for your supervisor!

    Either do what works for you, or get those PhD dissertations from your department out of the library and see how they did it.
