Is there a link between fractal dimension and residential environment at a regional level?

Is there a link between fractal dimension and residential environment at a regional level?

Fractal dimension is used to measure the spatial arrangement (morphology) of built-up areas within a Nuts1 region (Wallonia, Belgium) and, more particularly, to test to what extent fractal dimension is related to some variables commonly used in urban economics/urban geography to characterise built e...
