A schema refers to a structured body of prior knowledge that captures common patterns
across related experiences. Schemas have been studied separately in the realms of …

Since computing advances in the last 30 years have allowed automated calculation of fractal
dimensions, fractals have been established as ubiquitous signatures of urban form and …

Urban climate is determined by a variety of factors, whose knowledge can help to attenuate
heat stress in the context of ongoing urbanization and climate change. We study the …

The canopy layer urban heat island (UHI) effect, as manifested by elevated near-surface air
temperatures in urban areas, exposes urban dwellers to additional heat stress in many …

Cities grow in a bottom-up manner, leading to fractal-like urban morphologies characterized
by scaling laws. The correlated percolation model has succeeded in modeling urban …

We perform a multifractal analysis of the evolution of London's street network from 1786 to
2010. First, we show that a single fractal dimension, commonly associated with the …

This article provides an approach to the geographic and quantitative interpretation of tourism
intensification, drawing on the concepts of fractals, and fractal dimension (D). Exploring …

This book describes a unique way of measuring, analysing and comparing buildings using
fractal dimensions. A fractal dimension is a mathematical determination of the typical or …

Rapid urbanization has many social and environmental impacts, so it is important to be able
to monitor its evolution and try to limit its extent and effects. In countries without geographic …

In the context of China's continued promotion of new urbanization and development of urban
land, it is significant for China to create high-quality urban spatial structures with a …
