The third dimension of cities - relating building height, urban area, and population
Peiran Zhang, Liang Gao, Fabiano L. Ribeiro +3
For decades, urban development was studied on two-dimensional maps, largely ignoring the third dimension. However, building height is crucial because it dramatically potentiates th…

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…
