Networks 552's

1. living cities have intrinsic network patterns.
2.Because of the increase in population, anti-fractal patterns have increased in major cities, the results of this are changing things for the patterns of life and cities.
3.towns and cities start of by slowly building a small-world network, with the increasing popularity of sites such as Facebook, these live connections starting at the small level are not being made, only the long distance connections of the internet.
4. A NETWORK IS ALWAYS DRIVEN TO ADJUST ITS COMMUNICATION INFRASTRUCTURE TOWARDS AN INVERSE-POWER HIERARCHY.
5.current cities are designed for short car trips, because of this much of the cities are populated with parking lots.

1. car city is different from modernist city because of our strong need and desire for close car connections. I see this every day when I drive to school, I easily could take the train but I would not feel in control of my commune therefore I demand a place to park as a driving commuter.
2.subways were built to compete with pedestrian travel to make it faster to get from point a to point b without disrupting the previously existing foot-travel network.
3.The World Wide Web itself has grown and has self-organized according to a self-similar, small-world structure (Barabási, 2002).
4.an over abundance of nodes in cities is damaging to the infrastructure.
5.IF WE NEED TO CONNECT THE ELECTRONIC CITY TO A PHYSICAL CITY, THEN THE PHYSICAL CITY MUST FOLLOW THE SAME STRUCTURAL LAWS.

1.if cities have been built building by building, how has such a strong pattern evolved from such random motives?
2.How will a modernist or car city be transformed into a electric city?
