abstract = {Urban spatial structures are shaped by market forces interacting
with regulations, primary infrastructure investments and taxes. They are
usually the unintended result of unforeseen consequences of policies and
regulations that were designed without any particular spatial concerns.
However, different urban spatial organizations perform differently. For
instance, some urban shapes are unfavorable to the development of public
transport; others tend to increase the efficiency of public transport while
reducing residential floor consumption. Urban spatial structures are very
resilient and they evolve only very slowly. For this reason, a city's spatial
structure significantly reduces the range of available development options.},
