A Fractal Theory of Urban Growth

This paper presents an analytical framework for the physical environment of cities using fractal theory. The strength approach lies in its simplicity and precision. equations presented this article comprise: number occupied sites area; population length roads a city; dimension; average maximum levels (floors per building); density roads; what are limits to growth as well analysis on some city’s scaling laws. These describe high level precision real values measured system United Kingdom, every city above 5,000 people, which amounts sample size 1,031 cities. work will allow further research into nature cities, since it enables creation synthetic derivations that can arise from these building blocks. shows how same set be used characterise internal distribution perspective possible example application framework.
