Invited talk: Does urban density follow centrality?
Invited talk by Beatrix Emo and Martin Bielik (Bauhaus University) at the 11th Space Syntax Symposium in Lisbon, Portugal, July 3-7th, 2017.
Empirical study on the influence of street network centrality on urban density and its implications for the prediction of pedestrian flows
Collaborative project with Bauhaus University, Weimar
The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between space syntax measures of network centrality and measures of urban density. To what extent do they correspond? How can space syntax parameters be optimized to account for urban density? We present findings from an empirical study where a range of urban density parameters are tested against space syntax measures of network centrality.
