The scaling structure of the global road network

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Emanuele Strano, Andrea Giometto

Because of increasing global urbanization and its immediate consequences, including changes in patterns of food demand, circulation and land use, the next century will witness a major increase in the extent of paved roads built worldwide. To model the effe ...

Rich and Poor Cities in Europe. An Urban Scaling Approach to Mapping the European Economic Transition

Emanuele Strano, Vishal Sood

Recent advances in the urban science make broad use of the notion of scaling. We focus here on the important scaling relationship between the gross metropolitan product (GMP) of a city and its population (pop). It has been demonstrated that GMP alpha Y Ypo ...

A view on global urbanization : spatial networks, urban scaling and remote sensing

Emanuele Strano

It is widely recognized that global urbanization is one the most urgent issue of our time. Any problem related to global issues, such as climate change, social and environmental sustainability and the future of our society, is somehow related to cities and ...

Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Micro Economic Activities in Rome Reveals Patterns of Mixed-Use Urban Evolution

Emanuele Strano

Understanding urban growth is one with understanding how society evolves to satisfy the needs of its individuals in sharing a common space and adapting to the territory. We propose here a quantitative analysis of the historical development of a large urban ...

Multiplex networks in metropolitan areas: generic features and local effects

Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy

Most large cities are spanned by more than one transportation system. These different modes of transport have usually been studied separately: it is however important to understand the impact on urban systems of coupling different modes and we report in th ...

The Structure of Spatial Networks and Communities in Bicycle Sharing Systems

Emanuele Strano

Bicycle sharing systems exist in hundreds of cities around the world, with the aim of providing a form of public transport with the associated health and environmental benefits of cycling without the burden of private ownership and maintenance. Five cities ...

Urban street networks, a comparative analysis of ten European cities

Emanuele Strano, Alessio Vincenzo Cardillo

We compare the structural properties of the street networks of ten different European cities using their primal representation. We investigate the properties of the geometry of the networks and a set of centrality measures highlighting differences and simi ...

The simplicity of planar networks

Emanuele Strano, Marc Barthélemy

Shortest paths are not always simple. In planar networks, they can be very different from those with the smallest number of turns - the simplest paths. The statistical comparison of the lengths of the shortest and simplest paths provides a non trivial and ...
