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.

Spatial segregation and urban structure [PDF]
Journal of Regional Science, 2019 AbstractIn this paper, we develop a model of spatial segregation mediated by competitive land prices. Agents of two groups consume city land and benefit from social interactions. Because of cultural or ethnic differences, intragroup interactions are more frequent than intergroup ones.

The Fractal Simulation of Urban Structure [PDF]
Environment 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.
