Long-term dynamics of European towns and cities: towards a spatial model of urban growth
Cybergeo, 2000 The aim of the study is to elaborate a model in the framework of self-organisation theory which would describe how interactions between individual towns and cities can produce macro-geographical structures and dynamics at the scale of a continental urban

Causes of residential mobility and Turkey practice
TeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2020 Residential mobility is an economic and social recovery process that determines urban growth and regional development. The urban population relocates due to the events in their lives or their dissatisfaction with the conditions. Such individual movements
