Constructal view of the scaling laws of street networks — the dynamics behind geometry

Heitor Reis, A. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 387 (2008) 2, pp. 617-622

The distributions of street lengths and nodes follow inverse-power distribution laws. That means that the smaller the network components, the more numerous they have to be. In addition, street networks show geometrical self-similarities over a range of scales. Based on these features many...
