Settlement percolation: global maps of Critical Distances
Martin Schorcht, Martin Behnisch, Larissa T. Beumer +6
A substantial share of the Earth's land surface is managed by humans, with cities representing the most extreme form of anthropogenic land use. There are zillion ways in which sett…
Large cities lose their growth advantage as countries urbanize
Andrea Musso, Diego Rybski, Dirk Helbing +1
The share of the world population living in cities with more than one million people rose from 11% in 1975 to 24% in 2025 (our estimates). Will this trend towards greater concentra…
As Cities Grow, They Spread Out Rather Than Rise
Peiran Zhang, Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Liang Gao +5
Cities and settlements are a global phenomenon, and their continued expansion is fundamentally transforming patterns of resource demand. This transformation is reflected in growing…
One-Dimensional Urban Scaling
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Renan L. Fagundes, Diego Rybski
In this paper, we apply recent findings from urban scaling theory to evaluate how it could be applied to a one-dimensional archetypal city. Our focus is on how the simplicity of a…
How buildings change the fundamental allometry
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Peiran Zhang, Liang Gao +1
We demonstrate that the original fundamental allometry alone cannot accurately describe the relationship between urban area and population size. Instead, building height is a third…
Analytical solution for the long- and short-range every-pair-interactions model
Fabiano L. Ribeiro, Yunfei Li, Stefan Born +1
Many physical, biological, and social systems exhibit emergent properties that arise from the interactions between their components (cells). In this study, we systematically treat…
