CORRELATION ANALYSIS BETWEEN DYNAMIC-STATIC POPULATION AGGREGATION AND BLOCK MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN HIGH-DENSITY CITY:AN EMPIRICAL STUDY BASED ON MANHATTAN
The population in high-density cities is highly mobile,and there is a correlation effect between the dynamic-static population aggregation and the urban spatial form to some extent.Taking Manhattan as an example,this paper traces back its urban construction and morphological evolution.Based on the static and dynamic population data within the current urban area,the spatial distribution characteristics of population density are identified by using spatial cluster analysis and Manhattan population explorer.Then four 1 km×1km urban districts with high dynamic and static population density are selected,which are analyzed through the spatial matrix of the morphological characteristics of their typical blocks.It is found that the architectural density of the four sections shows a gradient pattern,which is correlated with the differentiation of the dynamic-static distribution of population.Then,the paper identifies and summarizes the formation types of high-density block,reveals the hidden order and related factors that affect the urban form.Finally,it puts forward some enlightenment of Manhattan urban form to the construction of high-density cities in China.
