The Transect
The rural-to-urban transect is a conceptual framework for describing the elements of metropolitan regions from rural to the most densely urban. It is a powerful tool for identifying and characterizing context and establishing appropriate relationships amongst disparate physical and environmental factors.
More information on the transect coming soon.
