Primes¶
- Allometry and Scaling Law
- Bettencourt (2013) develops this transfer logic in deriving the origins of urban scaling from socioeconomic interaction networks.
This sourceFirst-principles derivation of urban scaling exponents from balanced infrastructure costs, social-interaction networks, and net-benefit constraints, making transition-point and counterfactual reasoning quantitative.
- Bettencourt (2013) develops this transfer logic in deriving the origins of urban scaling from socioeconomic interaction networks.
- Scaling and Scale Dependence
- Bettencourt (2013) showed how such transition-point reasoning can be made quantitative for cities, deriving scaling exponents and infrastructure trade-offs from first principles.
This sourceFirst-principles derivation of urban scaling exponents from balanced infrastructure costs, social interaction, and net-benefit constraints; demonstrates how transition-point and counterfactual reasoning ("if a city doubles, what scales superlinearly vs. sublinearly?") becomes quantitative.
- Bettencourt (2013) showed how such transition-point reasoning can be made quantitative for cities, deriving scaling exponents and infrastructure trade-offs from first principles.
