The demographic problems of the Baltic cities: general trends [PDF]
Baltic Region, 2010 This article discusses the trends of demographic development of the Baltic Sea region's cities. It analyses the factors affecting the urban population dynamics in the second half of the 20th — the beginning of the 21st centuries.

A Fractal Theory of Urban Growth
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 This paper presents an analytical framework for the physical environment of cities using fractal theory. The strength of the approach lies in its simplicity and precision.

From disaster to sustainability: breaking the cycle of floods in Houston
AIMS Geosciences, 2019 The consequences of growing urbanization can be perceived in multiple levels around the globe: overpopulated living conditions, water and air pollution, loss of open space, costly transportation infrastructure, food shortages, fires and floods.

, 1997 This paper models and examines empirically the evolution of cities in an economy. Twentieth century evolution in the USA is characterized by parallel growth of cities of different types and on-going entry of new cities, together maintaining a stable relative size distribution of cities. Each type of city has a particular industrial composition and good(

Physical Capacity Assessment of Cities Central Textures in order to Infill Development (Case Study: Minab City) [PDF]
جغرافیای اجتماعی شهری, 2016 When the physical sprawl occurs in a biological range, as an excess of physical needs of the resident’s population, it would occupy space or exceed the suburbs. It can be concluded that within the city useless, derelict, deficient, and old spaces will be

Modeling Urban Growth and Form with Spatial Entropy
, 2020 Entropy is one of physical bases for fractal dimension definition, and the generalized fractal dimension was defined by Renyi entropy. Using fractal dimension, we can describe urban growth and form and characterize spatial complexity. A number of fractal

Urban expansion: theory, evidence and practice
Buildings & Cities, 2023 Cities accommodate population growth both through the densification of their existing footprints and through their expansion into their rural peripheries. In recent decades, most population growth has been accommodated through urban expansion.
