DEVELOPMENT, STRUCTURAL CHANGES AND URBANIZATION [PDF]

Journal of Development Economics, 1990
Abstract This paper constructs an equilibrium model by formalizing a trade-off between the gains from trade based on increasing returns to specialization and transaction costs. The relationship between development, structural changes, and urbanization is investigated.

How do parking practices structure urban territorial communities? [PDF]

, 2018
In this article we analyse the socio-spatial contexts and consequences of the practice of car parking in housing estates. Fredrik Barth’s idea of socially constructed boundaries and the theory of social practice form the theoretical basis of our analysis.

The top-down-bottom-up approach: a Mobility Program Indicators Development Framework (MPIDF)

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Impact evaluation is frequently used to assess the long-term effects of urban mobility programs and projects. However, there are no specific guidelines for selecting mobility-related evaluation indicators. Typically, indicators for program evaluation are

The anatomy of urban social networks and its implications in the searchability problem [PDF]

, 2014
The appearance of large geolocated communication datasets has recently increased our understanding of how social networks relate to their physical space. However, many recurrently reported properties, such as the spatial clustering of network communities,

Morphological Segmentation of Urban Structures [PDF]

2007 Urban Remote Sensing Joint Event, 2007
Automatic segmentation of high-resolution remote sensing imagery is an important problem in urban applications because the resulting segmentations can provide valuable spatial and structural information that are complementary to pixel-based spectral information in classification.
