Abstract:This paper aims to contribute to the debate on the "reading" of urban morphologies through quantitative means. The research objective is the establishment of a numeric method for comparing spatial characteristics of different families of urban morphologies, by considering the degree of fragmentation as a key contributor to their spatial identity. The hypothesis elaborated in this paper is that the fragmentation degree of urban textures can be adequately described through a set of fractal parameters. In additio… Show more
