Is segregation encoded in urban form? An entropy-based analysis

Vinicius M. Netto, Caio Cacholas, Camila Carvalho +1

The footprints of residential segregation have long been documented, yet the role of urban form as both medium and manifestation of segregation remains under-specified. We investig…

Deciphering Urban Morphogenesis: A Morphospace Approach

Vini Netto, Caio Cacholas, Dries Daems +3

Cities emerged independently across different world regions and historical periods, raising fundamental questions: How did the first urban settlements develop? What social and spat…

Entropy and the City: Origins, trajectories and explorations of the concept in urban science

Vinicius M. Netto, Otavio Peres, Caio Cacholas

Entropy is arguably one of the most powerful concepts to understand the world, from the behavior of molecules to the expansion of the universe, from how life emerges to how hybrid…

Entropy and hierarchical clustering: characterising the morphology of the urban fabric in different spatial cultures

E. Brigatti, V. M. Netto, F. N. M. de Sousa Filho +1

In this work, we develop a general method for estimating the Shannon entropy of a bidimensional sequence based on the extrapolation of block entropies. We apply this method to anal…

From form to information: Analysing built environments in different spatial cultures

Vinicius M. Netto, Edgardo Brigatti, Caio Cacholas

Cities are different around the world, but does this fact have any relation to culture? The idea that urban form embodies idiosyncrasies related to cultural identities captures the…

Assessing Spatial Information in Physical Environments

Vinicius M. Netto, Edgardo Brigatti, Caio Cacholas +1

Many approaches have dealt with the hypothesis that the environment contain information, mostly focusing on how humans decode information from the environment in visual perception,…
