Structural Salience of Elements of the City [PDF]

open access: possibleEnvironment and Planning B: Planning and Design, 2007
People experience and memorize space primarily with the help of landmarks. These landmarks have structural salience, besides visual and semantic salience. When people move in urban space they perceive first the street network as structuring this space. Therefore, streets are a good candidate for investigating structural salience.

On the Internal Structure of Cities

Econometrica, 2002
We prove the existence of a symmetric equilibrium in a circular city in which businesses and housing can both be located anywhere in the city. In this equilibrium, firms balance the external benefits from locating near other producers against the costs of longer commutes for workers.

Urban geography: city structures

Progress in Human Geography, 1977
Three types of work characterize the study of city structures, according to my earlier paper on this topic (Johnston, 1977). Two of them (neoclassical-functional description and the behavioural approach) are well-established and work continues to be produced along conventional lines (Herbert and Johnston, 1976a; 1976b); the third (institutional ...

Are cities dissipative structures?

International Journal of Urban Sciences, 2013
The new emergent paradigm of urban development theory that is based on complexity sciences allows us to understand and analyse cities in a new way. Theoretically, complexity sciences enable us to depict the fundamental characteristics of urban development, including nonlinearity, self-organization, and emergence. Empirically, the agent-based modelling (

City Structure in Transition

2012
With the technological advancement of ICT, the cities of the world are becoming so dependent that ICT is challenging the conventional ideas and classic theories of city structure. The cities of the world are undergoing a transition that is caused by the shift of principle from ‘physical movement’ to ‘virtual movement’. The state-of-the-art ICT featured

Trade and the structure of cities [PDF]

open access: possible, 2006
Our purpose is to investigate how the interplay between trade, commuting and communication costs shapes the economy at both the interregional and intraurban levels. Specifically, we study how economic integration affects the internal structure of cities and show how decentralizing the production and consumption of goods in secondary employment centers ...
