Abstract

The recent availability of data about cities and urban systems opens the exciting possibility of a ‘new Science of Cities’. Urban morphogenesis, activity and residence location choice, mobility, urban sprawl and the evolution of urban networks are just a few of the important processes that can be discussed now from a quantitative point of view. Here, we will discuss how a data-informed approached can elaborate on urban economics models in order to get predictions in agreement with empirical observations. We will illustrate this approach on the polycentric organization of activity in cities and how it evolves when their population grow.
