An object-based classification approach for mapping "migrant housing" in the mega-urban area of the Pearl River Delta (China) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Urban areas develop on formal and informal levels. Informal development is often highly dynamic, leading to a lag of spatial information about urban structure types.

A global fingerprint of macro-scale changes in urban structure from 1999 to 2009 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Urban population now exceeds rural population globally, and 60–80% of global energy consumption by households, businesses, transportation, and industry occurs in urban areas.

Morphological Segmentation of Urban Structures [PDF]

open access: yes2007 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.

DEVELOPMENT, STRUCTURAL CHANGES AND URBANIZATION [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Between information systems and physical structure of the city: New causes of climate changes [PDF]

open access: yesArhitektura i Urbanizam, 2011
Because of the frequent and significant spatial transformations, an increasing climate change regime in urban areas occurs. In this paper a comprehensive reflection on these changes is analyzed, concerning one of the major causes - the social ...

Low genetic variability, female-biased dispersal and high movement rates in an urban population of Eurasian badgersMeles meles [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
1. Urban and rural populations of animals can differ in their behaviour, both in order to meet their ecological requirements and due to the constraints imposed by different environments.

The Fractal Simulation of Urban Structure [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironment and Planning A: Economy and Space, 1986
This paper is addressed to the problem of developing realistic-looking patterns of land use and activity from predictions generated by conventional urban models. The method developed is based on a geometric model of irregularity involving hierarchical cascading and recursion, whose rationale lies in the emergent field of fractal geometry.
