Unimodal, concave relationships between average network productivity and accumulation or density aggregated across spatially compact regions of urban networks—so called Macroscopic Fundamental Diagrams (MFDs)—have recently been shown to exist on homogeneous street networks. When present, MFD facilitate the modeling traffic congestion at a regional level have led development various control stra...

the relationship between public health and urban planning is an innovative and important issue that it has prominent position in future urban planning. in this context, adverse air quality condition and air pollutant concentrations higher than the permitted limit set by the world health organization is considered as a threat to the health of citizens in big cities. according to result of air po...
