Title: From complex structures to complex processes: Percolation theory applied to the formation of a city
Abstract: We investigate the morphology of the spatial pattern resulting from the of land into the parcels that is observed in the centers of the by analyzing the distribution function of the parcel areas. A model based on a two-dimensional bond percolation is employed to the process of the formation of the city. The model reproduces the distribution of the parcel areas that is found to exhibit the
