Stochastic modelling of urban structure. [PDF]
Proc Math Phys Eng Sci, 2018 The building of mathematical and computer models of cities has a long history. The core elements are models of flows (spatial interaction) and the dynamics of structural evolution. In this article, we develop a stochastic model of urban structure to formally account for uncertainty arising from less predictable events.
