Optimization and growth
Local optimization
n  Global optimization not very satisfying: limited time
horizon of urban planners; growing, out-of-equilibrium,
self-organizing cities
n  However, locally, it is reasonable to assume that cost
minimization prevails
Lake Como 2016
§ Growing Networks+optimization: Fabrikant model
§ A new node i is added to the network such that 
is minimum.

Lake Como 2016
§ Growing Networks+optimization
Optimization and growth
Gastner and Newman, 2006
Lake Como 2016
n  Centers (homes, businesses, …) need to be
connected to the road network
n  When a new center appears: how does the road
grow to connect to it ?
A simple model for the road/streets network
n  We assume that the existing network creates a
‘potential’ V(x)
n  Two main parameters: “freedom” and
“wealth” (number of connections)
P(x) ⇠ e V (x)
Lake Como 2016
A (very) simple model
n  Algorithm
q  (0) Generate initial seed of a few centers connected by
roads
q  (1) Generate a center in the plane with proba P(x)
q  (2) Grow the n (n depends on the wealth) roads from the
center to the existing network
q  (3) back to (1)until N centers
MB and Flammini 2008, 2009; Courtat et al, 2010

Illustration: presence of an obstacle
MB and Flammini 2008, 2009
Lake Como 2016
A simple model: Problem of the area distribution

q  Empirically: the density decreases with the distance to the
center (Clark 1951) => Generate centers with exponential
distribution 

Surprisingly good agreement !
MB and Flammini 2008, 2009
Lake Como 2016
n  The new centers are not uniformly distributed:
economical factors
Co-evolution of the network and centers

q  Choice of location (for a new home, business,…):
depends on many factors.
q  We can focus on two factors: rent and transportation
costs
n  Rent price increases with density
n  Centrality

q  Very simplified model, but gives some hints about
possible more complex and realistic models

Scaling for
transportation systems

How are network quantities
related to socio-economical
factors ?
Lake Como 2016
Scaling
n  Network properties

- Total length L

- Number Ns of stations

- Ridership R (per year)

n  Socio-economical quantities

- GDP G (or GMP for urban areas)

- Population P

- Area A

n  Difference subway-railway


- subway: urban area scale

- Railway: country scale
Lake Como 2016
Scaling – general framework
n  Iterative growth: add a link e such that
is maximum
n  In the `steady-state’ regime: operating costs are
balanced by benefits
Z(e) = B(e) C(e)
Z =

Z(e) ⇡ 0
Lake Como 2016
Scaling – Subways
n  Benefit: R (total ridership per unit time); f ticket price
n  Costs: per unit length (and time) for lines; and per unit
time and per station.
n  Estimate of R ? For a given station i, we have

n  A simple framework allows to relate the properties of the
networks (R, L, Ns) to socio-economical quantities such as
G, P, A.
n  These indicators allow to understand the main properties.
Fluctuations are present and might be understood,
elaborating on this simple framework
n  Fundamental difference subway-railway
- The interstation distance is imposed by human
constraints in the subway case
- Railways: the network has to adapt to the spatial
distribution of cities
Scaling – Railways
Lake Como 2016
Discussion
n  Few models of (realistic) planar graphs
n  Even for the evolution of spatial networks
n  Interesting direction: socio-economical indicators and
network properties…
