The present research datasets were processed for the article “The global homogenization of urban form. An assessment of 194 cities across time” [1]. They consist of land cover spatial layers, longitude and latitude point ...

The present work proposes a comparative analysis of three Brazilian strategic planning experiments from the 1990s. The chosen urban interventions are the 'Rio Cidade' Program (Rio de Janeiro), the 'Tamanduatehy Axis' (São ...

In this paper, we analyze the rural-urban migration phenomenon as it is usually observed in economies which are in the early stages of industrialization. The analysis is conducted by means of a statistical mechanics approach ...
