Urban Spatial Structure

Urban spatial structure refers to the arrangement and organization of different areas within a city, including where residential, commercial, industrial, and recreational spaces are located. It looks at how these spaces interact and influence social behaviors, economic activities, and accessibility. Factors like transportation, land use, and historical development shape this structure. Understanding urban spatial structure helps us comprehend how cities function, how communities are formed, and the social dynamics that arise from living in diverse environments. This framework can guide urban planning and policy to create more livable and equitable cities.
