Dear Jorge and colleagues,

Many thanks for sharing this recent paper!

I put some comments in ResearchGate linked to this paper. For convenience of the readers in the mailing list, I copied these lines here:

"There are so many representations. Many of them are geometry oriented, but a very few is able to reveal living structure of far more smalls than larges. It is the living structure that can help address the three fundamental issues of geography regarding space: (1) how it looks (morphology), (2) how it works (underlying mechanisms with respect to city structure and dynamics), and (3) what it ought to be (how to make cities more smart or sustainable). The following paper offers details on the topological and scaling perspective:

The following presentation provides a critique on current GIS representations (or network representation in particular):

Dear all,

Street Network Studies: from Networks to Models and their Representations
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11067-018-9427-9

Stephen Marshall, Jorge Gil, Karl Kropf, Martin Tomko, Lucas Figueiredo

 

It's a collaborative effort written in response to the increasing attention given to street networks by scholars and researchers across a range of disciplines.

This position paper highlights the plurality of ways that street networks can be modelled and represented, each lending itself to different analyses and supporting insights into diverse aspects of the urban system.

One of the aims of the paper is to call for greater attention to consistent use of terms and concepts, and to explicit research design choices because the way we model and then represent street networks as graphs has fundamental effects on the outcomes of a study.

 

Best regards,

Jorge
