In this case, the cells grow in an irregular pattern and can change in number and state, and the roads direct the growth pattern of the urban cluster and stimulate cell generation. The coupled effects of a cellular mechanism and a road network and the long-distance effects determined by spatial mobility are presented in two forms: first in a theoretical framework, and then through numerical simulation in which various sets of key parameters are utilised. A model is proposed in which growth is related to the fractal dimension of the cluster. Finally, conclusions are drawn for the long-run effects of morphology modification in relation to land use and to spatial pattern.Read More
