This book presents a compendium of the urban layout maps of 2-mile
square downtown areas of more than one hundred cities in developed
and developing countries-all drawn at the same scale using
high-resolution satellite images of Google Maps. The book also
presents analytic studies using metric geometrical, topological (or
network), and fractal measures of these maps. These analytic
studies identify ordinaries, extremes, similarities, and
differences in these maps; investigate the scaling properties of
these maps; and develop precise descriptive categories, types and
indicators for multidimensional comparative studies of these maps.
The findings of these studies indicate that many geometric
relations of the urban layouts of downtown areas follow regular
patterns; that despite social, economic, and cultural differences
among cities, the geometric measures of downtown areas in cities of
developed and developing countries do not show significant
differences; and that the geometric possibilities of urban layouts
are vastly greater than those that have been realized so far in our
cities.
