70 000 years ago, Homo sapiens left Africa to colonize the world. 6,000 years ago, he founded the first cities. Today, in the era of city networks, he is creating increasingly wide and complex metropolitan regions. From prehistory to the era of metropolises, man has occupied the earth's space in an infinite variety of ways, under the influence of a...

Rural settlement patterns in North-Western Europe in 800 CE were scattered and impermanent. By 1200 they had become much more concentrated and enduring. Although this phenomenon occurred in all regions, settlement concentration and hierarchy differed widely. In this paper, we seek to better understand how the processes influencing the concentration...

Cette thèse vise à expérimenter une démarche collective et interdisciplinaire d’analyse de dynamiques spatiales sur le temps long, en se fondant sur la co-construction et l’exploration visuelle d’un modèle de simulation des transitions des systèmes de peuplements. Il s’agit de simuler les transformations du système de peuplement Nord-Ouest européen...

Agent‐based modelling (ABM) platforms clearly illustrate the strong relationship between ABM and visualization or even mapping: the home pages of the majority of these platforms highlight screenshots, most of which offer cartographic representations of running simulation models. This chapter aims to present and to illustrate the advantages that can...

Price inflation has outbalanced the income of residents and buyers in major post-industrial city-regions, and real estate has become an important driver of these inequalities. In a context of a resilient inflation of home values during the last two decades in the greater Paris Region, it is critical to examine housing price dynamics to get a better...

For the first time the systems of cities in seven countries or regions among the largest in the world (China, India, Brazil, Europe, the Former Soviet Union (FSU), the United States and South Africa) are made comparable through the building of spatio-temporal standardised statistical databases. We first explain the concept of a generic evolutionary...

Zipf's rank-size rule, lognormal distribution, and Gibrat's urban growth models are considered as summarizing fundamental properties of systems of cities. In this article, they are used as statistical benchmarks for comparing the shapes of urban hierarchies and evolutionary trends of seven systems of cities in the world including BRICS, Europe, and...

The on-line English version of this Chapter is available here : https://books.openedition.org/pufr/19740 Le chapitre un dresse un bref état des différentes manières dont les « transitions » sont abordées dans la littérature, tant du point de vue des sciences de la nature que des sciences sociales. Dans ce Chapitre, les aspects théoriques ont été p...

This paper introduces an interactive web platform called “SLIDER” to explore longitudinal data and an original graphical display called “slide plot” which is conceived to visualize aggregated trajectories. The paper begins with a short state of the art of existing graphical displays used to analyze longitudinal data. Then, it presents the main char...

R et espace. Traitement de l’information géographique est un irremplaçable support technique pour les utilisateurs de R appliqué à l’analyse de l’information géographique ! Ce manuel a pour ambition d’offrir un support technique à des étudiants, enseignants-chercheurs, ingénieurs de toutes disciplines qui partagent notre intérêt pour l’utilisation...
