Studying the distribution patterns, dynamics and influencing factors of city functional components by gradient analysis

Abstract Understanding the spatial distribution characteristics and formation mechanism of urban facilities (city functional components) constitutes the basis of urban layout optimization. Currently, research on the overall distribution of the various types of city functional components is lacking....
