Countries that have experienced a delayed entry within the world economy have usually sustained an enhanced and faster globalisation process. This is the case for BRIC countries which are, compared to other emerging countries, organised on large economies and thus provide a stronger potential market. From this perspective, India appears to be...

India is a very complex space for geographical analysis, above all when the focus of the research is on the rapid transformation of the Indian space, related to urbanization and socioeconomic development. This paper adopts an inductive approach using a database specifically conceived for describing the 640 administrative districts of India...

L'Inde est souvent perçue par les grandes entreprises occidentales comme l'un des nouveaux eldorados des pays émergents de part ses processus d'urbanisation et son industrialisation croissante. Mais, la réalité Indienne est tout autre. En valeur absolue, la population indienne a augmenté de 181 millions d'habitants entre 2001 et 2011 contre...

When you arrive for the first time in Brazzaville, you are struck by the huge number of motorized vehicles related to public transport. Buses, minibuses, collectives cabs… all these vehicles seem to evolve in the most absolute anarchy without the slightest indication for the user. But, behind this visible disorder is hided a very well organized...

This paper presents a multi-scale detection of urban fabric types through Multiple Fabric Assessment in Marseille, France's second city. MFA is a computer-aided streetscape-based urban morphometric protocol for morphological regionalization of large urban areas. First presented at ISUF 2017, MFA has already been successfully applied to the...

This paper presents different methods implemented with the aim of studying urban perforation and regeneration dynamics at the building level. The minimum requirement to perform these methods is a building footprint available for two different periods (time depth of at least 10 years) and heights (or floors) as attribute data. First, basic...

Japan experienced spectacular urbanization and population growths over the course of the last hundred years. With a population of 57,963 million of inhabitants in 1920, its count more than doubled when the population reached its highest level in 2010 with 128,057 million of inhabitants. These trends have been accompanied by a massive...

As cities adapt to new needs and challenges, their forms change in close relation to population dynamics. This article focuses on the link between population dynamics and the evolution of building hull types. The case study is the Osaka‐Kobe city‐region in Japan, a country globally witnessing an intense population decline. Morphometric...

This paper presents different methods implemented with the aim of studying urban dynamics at the building level. Building types are identified within a comprehensive vector-based building inventory, spanning over at least two time points. First, basic morphometric indicators are computed for each building: area, floor-area, number of neighbors,...

Metropolitan regions are very complex spaces for geographical analysis, above all due to their strong heterogeneity at the intra-urban level. This paper presents the progresses made by Multiple Fabric Assessment (MFA), a method specifically conceived for describing urban fabrics from the pedestrian perspective. To sum up, standard spatial units...

Japan is characterized by a massive urbanization rate (93.0%) and a system of cities mostly made of a limited number of overlapping and dense megapolises. Within these hyper-urbanized spaces, distinctions between urban fabric types are becoming harder and harder to identify. This is not only due to the accumulation over time of different layers...

Les mobilités urbaines dans les pays du sud présentent des caractères difficiles à appréhender avec les référentiels d'analyse des pays du nord. Au-delà du caractère complexe propre à tout système de mobilités d'individus, les grandes métropoles du sud présentent des logiques de fonctionnement qui leur sont propres [Godard, 2002]. Nous avons...
