From: Imagine a Walkable City: Physical activity and urban imageability across 19 major cities
Examples of street networks in London and New York, and the corresponding polar histograms. Each city’s street network refers to the square of 1 km2 centered in the city’s geographic centroid. Upon that square, the value of street entropy was computed. London’s street orientations have higher entropy (\(H=3.56\)) than those in New York (\(H=1.98\))
