An Analysis of Urban Metrics Utilizing Scale-Adjusted Metropolitan Indicators
Abstract Growth in urban areas is described not only as increase in overall population, but also how the needs of that population are met through increases in infrastructure and physical resources. To observe these patterns, an analysis of scale is used to identify trends from data. This project use...
