Urban Science Beyond Samples: Up-to-Date Street Network Models and Indicators for Every Urban Area in the World
Geoff Boeing
Urban planners need up-to-date, global, and consistent street network models and indicators to measure resilience and performance, model accessibility, and target local quality-of-…
Urban Street Network Design and Transport-Related Greenhouse Gas Emissions around the World
Geoff Boeing, Clemens Pilgram, Yougeng Lu
This study estimates the relationships between street network characteristics and transport-sector CO2 emissions across every urban area in the world and investigates whether they…
Converting One-Way Streets to Two-Way Streets to Improve Transportation Network Efficiency and Reduce Vehicle Distance Traveled
Geoff Boeing, William Riggs
Planning scholars have identified economic, safety, and social benefits of converting one-way streets to two-way. Less is known about how conversions could impact vehicular distanc…
Off the Grid... and Back Again? The Recent Evolution of American Street Network Planning and Design
Geoff Boeing
This morphological study identifies and measures recent nationwide trends in American street network design. Historically, orthogonal street grids provided the interconnectivity an…
Street Network Models and Indicators for Every Urban Area in the World
Geoff Boeing
Cities worldwide exhibit a variety of street network patterns and configurations that shape human mobility, equity, health, and livelihoods. This study models and analyzes the stre…
Exploring Urban Form Through Openstreetmap Data: A Visual Introduction
Geoff Boeing
This chapter introduces OpenStreetMap - a crowd-sourced, worldwide mapping project and geospatial data repository - to illustrate its usefulness in quickly and easily analyzing and…
Urban Street Network Analysis in a Computational Notebook
Geoff Boeing
Computational notebooks offer researchers, practitioners, students, and educators the ability to interactively conduct analytics and disseminate reproducible workflows that weave t…
Spatial Information and the Legibility of Urban Form: Big Data in Urban Morphology
Geoff Boeing
Urban planning and morphology have relied on analytical cartography and visual communication tools for centuries to illustrate spatial patterns, propose designs, compare alternativ…
Urban Spatial Order: Street Network Orientation, Configuration, and Entropy
Geoff Boeing
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 ci…
Planarity and Street Network Representation in Urban Form Analysis
Geoff Boeing
Models of street networks underlie research in urban travel behavior, accessibility, design patterns, and morphology. These models are commonly defined as planar, meaning they can…
Methods and Measures for Analyzing Complex Street Networks and Urban Form
Geoff Boeing
Complex systems have been widely studied by social and natural scientists in terms of their dynamics and their structure. Scholars of cities and urban planning have incorporated co…
The Morphology and Circuity of Walkable and Drivable Street Networks
Geoff Boeing
Circuity, the ratio of network distances to straight-line distances, is an important measure of urban street network structure and transportation efficiency. Circuity results from…
Measuring the Complexity of Urban Form and Design
Geoff Boeing
Complex systems have become a popular lens for analyzing cities and complexity theory has many implications for urban performance and resilience. This paper develops a typology of…
The Effects of Inequality, Density, and Heterogeneous Residential Preferences on Urban Displacement and Metropolitan Structure: An Agent-Based Model
Geoff Boeing
Urban displacement - when a household is forced to relocate due to conditions affecting its home or surroundings - often results from rising housing costs, particularly in wealthy,…
Honolulu Rail Transit: International Lessons from Barcelona in Linking Urban Form, Design, and Transportation
Geoff Boeing
The city of Honolulu, Hawaii is currently planning and developing a new rail transit system. While Honolulu has supportive density and topography for rail transit, questions remain…
