Urban structure type mapping method using spatial metrics and remote sensing imagery classification
(2021-01-01)
Urban Structure Types (USTs) stand for areas with homogeneous appearance over the urban matrix. The use of spatial metrics rises as a convenient alternative to quantify the homogeneity of areas on a specific scale. Remote ...
Urban tissues and residential types in Cuenca (Ecuador)
(2020)
Architecture, and particularly the architecture of housing, has been critically important in the history of humanity; however, its analysis has not often addressed all of its complexity. There is a need to understand the ...
The global homogenization of urban form. An assessment of 194 cities across time
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-12)
The spatial structure of cities, i.e. their composition, shape and degree of fragmentation or compactness, is a physical expression reflecting development efficiency. Identifying the evolution of urban systems in time and ...

Spider communities in urban green patches and their relation to local and landscape traits
(2018)
Urbanization and urban landscape characteristics greatly alter plant and animal species richness and abundances in negative and positive directions. Spiders are top predators, often considered to be sensitive to habitat ...
Methodology developed for the construction of an urban-energy diagnosis aimed to assess alternative scenarios: An intra-urban approach to foster cities’ sustainability
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
The promotion of energy efficiency (EES) and renewable energy (RES) programs has a long history in developed countries; however, in the rest of the world such initiatives are incipient. Meanwhile, cities are the main ...
