Multifractal scaling analyses of urban street network structure: The cases of twelve megacities in China
Fig 5
The generalized correlation dimension spectrums of street networks of 12 Chinese cities.
The Dq curve of Beijing appears in both (A) and (B) as a reference. They are monotonic decreasing functions of q, indicating multifractal property. The right tails of Dq curves and convergence values of q>0 are very close to each other for most cities. While the left tails of Dq curves exhibit wider gaps. This means that the development of traffic networks in the central areas of different cities is similar, but there are significant differences in the suburbs from city to city.
