Recent decades have seen a rise in the use of physics methods to study different societal
phenomena. This development has been due to physicists venturing outside of their …

Complex systems are very often organized under the form of networks where nodes and
edges are embedded in space. Transportation and mobility networks, Internet, mobile phone …

Urban scholars have studied street networks in various ways, but there are data availability
and consistency limitations to the current urban planning/street network analysis literature …

Street networks may be planned according to clear organizing principles or they may evolve
organically through accretion, but their configurations and orientations help define a city's …

Urban spatial structure in large cities is becoming ever more complex as populations grow in
size, engage in more travel, and have increasing amounts of disposable income that enable …

Although most of wealth and innovation have been the result of human interaction and
cooperation, we are not yet able to quantitatively predict the spatial distributions of three …

With over half of the world's population now living in urban areas, the ability to model and
understand the structure and dynamics of cities is becoming increasingly valuable …

Transportation networks play a crucial role in human mobility, the exchange of goods and
the spread of invasive species. With 90 per cent of world trade carried by sea, the global …

As many readers may know, graph theory is a fundamental branch of mathematics that
explores networks made up of nodes and edges, focusing on their paths, structures, and …

In this paper, we combine the most complete record of daily mobility, based on large-scale
mobile phone data, with detailed Geographic Information System (GIS) data, uncovering …
