Cécile Tannier presents the Fractal model and its impact on how urban forms and spatial organisation are approached in urban studies and planning. Reflecting critically on scale invariance and optimality, she shows how and why fractal models enable us to better understand how space is organised through scales and how urban planning can modify this spatial organisation in a fractal manner, accounting for the effects of distance and scale dependence.
