Multifractal models and their formal properties in urban geography

2019

International audience; Fractal analysis for exploring the spatial organization of settlement patterns is used since a coupleof years. On the one hand, scaling behavior turned out to be a suitable approach for characterizingsuch patterns, but town sections, issued from different periods of urban history or corresponding toparticular planning concepts show different types of scaling behavior what aided classifying urbanpatterns. However, on the scale of agglomerations these different scaling behaviors are mixed. Thatincites asking whether multifractal approaches could be of interest when considering urban patternsor settlement systems, as local properties like different degrees of concentrat…
