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.

Fractalopolis

Multifractal urban planning

Fractalopolis 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 large interconnected networks of natural and green areas having various sizes.

SimFeodal

Agent-based modelling to better understand the evolution of rural settlement patterns in North-Western Europe during the Middle Ages (800 CE to 1200 CE).

The model enables exploring the combined effects of social and demographic changes on the concentration and hierarchy of rural settlement patterns. It simulates the emergence of enduring population clusters located around castles and parish churches. Over time, population clusters (hamlets, villages, small towns) become more numerous; many of them grow (i. e. their number of peasant households increases) but some clusters grow more than others.

WayMorph

Simulation of growth of urban road networks

Realistic evolutions of urban road networks can be simulated with WayMorph and the corresponding software application via simple morphological and topological rules. WayMorph is formally an extension of the Courtat’s model (2012). It enables the simulation of complex network shapes by defining successive sequences and stages of network development.

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.
