The Spatial Characters of Morphology Structure of the Medium and Small Cities in Northwest China

Abstract:

The differences of spatial accessibility and spatial density of morphology structure for the medium and small cities in Northwest China are addressed based on site visiting, analyzing of satellite remote sensing images as well as the space syntax. The results reveal that different morphology structure appears different spatial charters. For the cities with a single centre, the morphology structure characters between small and medium cities have big differences. For the cities with several groups distribution separately, the spatial activities decline gradually from centre to outer areas. For the cities with multi-centres structure, the spatial structure is not even, because it is still in the first stage and the aggregation ability is still weak. The morphology change from simplicity to complication and its types change from single to diversity under the rapid urbanization process.
