    Elementary processes governing the evolution of road networks

    Urbanisation is a fundamental phenomenon whose quantitative characterisation is still inadequate. We report here the empirical analysis of a unique data set regarding almost 200 years of evolution of the road ...

    Co-evolution of Density and Topology in a Simple Model of City Formation

    We study the influence that population density and the road network have on each others’ growth and evolution. We use a simple model of formation and evolution of city roads which reproduces the most important...

    Traffic-Driven Model of the World Wide Web Graph

    We propose a model for the World Wide Web graph that couples the topological growth with the traffic’s dynamical evolution. The model is based on a simple traffic-driven dynamics and generates weighted directe...
