From buildings to cities: techniques for the multi-scale analysis of urban form and function [PDF]
, 2010 The built environment is a significant factor in many urban processes, yet direct measures of built form are seldom used in geographical studies. Representation and analysis of urban form and function could provide new insights and improve the evidence
