Phase transition in urban agglomeration and segregation

arXiv:2307.11318

Abstract

A model of the urban agglomeration and segregation is formulated, in which two types of agents move around on the square-lattice aligned cells. The model is shown to exhibit, when the density of agents are varied as the control parameter, various phase transitions representing appearance of urban aggregation, segregation and social disorder.
