Contributor(s): Publication details: CRC Press 2009 Boca RatonDescription: xviii, 253 pISBN:
  • 9781439802526
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 307.1216 N3
Summary: Bringing together the world’s leading experts in Urban Analysis, this remarkable and critically acclaimed volume applies the theories and models of Atsuyuko Okabe, Japan’s preeminent spatial analyst, to case studies in urban planning, transport, administration, and public health in the context of the highly advanced Japanese planning system. It includes information that has never appeared in English, covering the development of techniques in GIS, spatial modeling, and methodologies of spatial analysis as they are applied to urban environments. Each of the contributors has worked directly with or studied under Professor Okabe.
