The City in Physical Layers

The fractal dimension of cities in 2D will be always a value between zero and two. If we calculate the fractal dimension of Buenos Aires, we will see that its value does not differ - at least significantly - of the values reached in other cities. For example, at the neighborhood scale, La Boca (Buenos Aires) is in the range of D=1.80, the same is for East Los Angeles in California. Considering that they are two very different cities, this reduccionist analysis would not be enough to understand the morphological patterns of the city.
