Tabla de Contenidos:
  • Preface : Four themes for an atlas
  • Motivations for characterizing the hybrid, social-ecological city
  • Unravelling homogeneity : one predominant land cover element with constrained potential for mixture
  • Heterogeneity as outcome of urban transformation : one predominant land cover element with greater potential for mixture
  • Regularity within patches as a characteristic of heterogeneity : two co-dominant land cover elements and repeated pairs
  • The case of patch plurality as a lesson for urban mutability : three to five co-dominant land cover elements and the potential for recombination
  • Speculating on urban futures.
