Fractalopolis

Design of multifractal urban or regional development plans

This software application is dedicated to the design of multifractal urban or regional development plans that adhere to five planning principles: hierarchical polycentric urban development; transit-oriented development; locally dense residential development; penetration of green areas into built-up areas across several nested scales; preservation of interconnected networks of natural and green areas having various sizes.

Fractalyse

Areal and linear fractal measurement software

Fractalyse is a software application for the fractal analysis of 2D patterns. This version 3 of Fractalyse has been written in Java language. Fractalyse runs on any computer supporting Java Virtual Machine. It can be used to compute fractal dimension of bitmap images (raster), vector images and networks.

 morpholim icone2

MorphoLim

Identifying urban boundaries

MorphoLim is dedicated to the identification of the morphological boundary of urban agglomerations. The method used avoids the need for any pre-defined maximum distance threshold between buildings. It is based on the conceptual and methodological tools of fractal geometry.

 MupCity icone2

Mup-City

Multiscale urban planning for a sustainable city

MUP-City is a computer application for identifying places where urbanization would be possible in accordance with a principle of fractal urbanization. It allows the user to simulate residential development scenarios based on an existing urban pattern. Additional planning rules introduce constraints on access to shops and services, natural and leisure facilities, and a constraint on proximity to the existing road network. MUP-City applies to European cities of 100 000 – 1 000 000 inhabitants.

 gwfa icone2

Package R gwfa

Geographically Weighted Fractal Analysis (GWFA).

This package enables the calculation of the local fractal dimension of a set of points. The method mixes the Sandbox multifractal algorithm and the Geographically Weighted Regression. It can be used to discriminate built patterns within a city, a region, or a whole country.

Systems: any system supporting R. GPL license.
