Theoretical Studies in Urban Network Analysis

Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction

ABSTRACT

The city plays a leading role in social development. Constructed by a variety of traffic and transport system, urban network also occupies a pivotal position in urban development. The urban network not only affects the economy, the environment, and urban development but also reflects the resilience of the city when met majeure. By summarizing overseas and domestic research status of urban network, this paper refines the hotspots of urban network research and gives some advises to accurately grasp the development trend and characteristics of China’s urbanization and systematically study the uncoordinated issues of urban layout, which can make great significance for economic and social development.
