The cognition of intra-urban distance: A summary

Intra-urban cognitive distance is influenced in general by the extent to which the general layout and topography of a city provide an inherent legibility. In detail, actual physical distance, complexity and perceived linearity of route, and characteristics of the end-points-to which a valency hypoth...

description Intra-urban cognitive distance is influenced in general by the extent to which the general layout and topography of a city provide an inherent legibility. In detail, actual physical distance, complexity and perceived linearity of route, and characteristics of the end-points-to which a valency hypothesis is applicable-all influence the judgement of distance. The non-commutative nature of cognised distance has implications for the overall cognitive representation of the city, which may undergo topological deformation as actual or perceived position changes.
