 |
FractalopolisMultifractal urban planningFractalopolis 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. Systems : any system supporting Java. GPL license. Contact : Cécile Tannier, Pierre Frankhauser, Gilles Vuidel |

 |
Mup-CityMulti-scale urban planning for a sustainable cityDeveloped since 2008 under two PREDIT contracts, MUP-City can be used to create fractal and non fractal residential development scenarios integrating constraints of accessibility to shops, services, open spaces and proximity constraints with the existing road networks. Systems: any system supporting Java. GPL license. Contact : Cécile Tannier, Gilles Vuidel |

SimFeodalAgent-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.

WayMorphSimulation of growth of urban road networksRealistic 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. Systems: any system supporting Java. GPL license. Contact : Hanae El Gouj, Gilles Vuidel, Cécile Tannier, Claire Lagesse |
Landscape
 |
GraphabAnalysis of wildlife habitat connectivity and ecological network modellingGraphab software is devoted to the modelling of ecological networks from the framework of graph theory. It is the only tool able to include construction and visualization of graphs, connectivity analyses and links with external data. It is easily compatible with Geographical Information Systems. Systems : any system supporting Java. GPL license Contact : Gilles Vuidel

MorphoLimIdentifying urban boundariesMorphoLim 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. Systems: any system supporting Java. GPL license. Contact : Cécile Tannier, Gilles Vuidel |

Mup-CityMultiscale urban planning for a sustainable cityMUP-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. Systems: any system supporting Java. GPL license. Contact : Cécile Tannier, Gilles Vuidel |
