Using fractal dimensions for characterizing intra-urban diversity. The example of Brussels [PDF]
The objective of this paper is to compare fractal-based parameters calculated by different fractal methods for urban built-up areas, and to link the observed spatial variations to variables commonly used in urban geography, urban economics or land use ...

Random walk, cluster growth, and the morphology of urban conglomerations
, 2005 We propose a new model of cluster growth according to which the probability that a new unit is placed in a point at a distance $r$ from the city center is a Gaussian with mean equal to the cluster radius and variance proportional to the mean, modulated ...
