Primes¶
- Permeability
- Urban design and transport: a city's street network has high or low permeability to pedestrians, cyclists, and cars; cul-de-sac suburbs are low-permeability for pedestrians, grids high-permeability, superblocks selectively permeable.
This sourceDevelops the space-syntax analysis of street-network configuration/permeability as the primary producer of pedestrian movement patterns.

Domain-specific¶
- Space syntax
- Integration measures how topologically shallow a space is relative to all others in the system — how few steps it takes to reach it from every other space — and is the primary predictor of pedestrian movement: highly integrated spaces attract more movement than deep, poorly connected ones
This sourceThat local integration is the best configurational predictor of smaller-scale movement, usually pedestrian movement, with global integration best for larger-scale movement. That configurational properties are read off plans as properties of the layout as a whole and relate directly to the social.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 2 citations: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
