1. Hamburg and „Axial Planning“
• Introduction to the study region and local planning
2. Testing the „Axial Planning“ policy
• How does the experimental setup work?
3. Methods
• How to model and measure the impacts?
4. Results

10. Landscape Metrics to measure the impacts
Elements Landscape
Indicator Description
Patch Density Elements per Area
Patch Size Mean size of all Elements
Mean Complexity of all Elements as the comparison to a
Patch Shape
perfect square
Compaction Mean extend / reach of all elements
Fractal Mean Fractal Index of Elements
Aggregation Index Probability that two cells of the same class are neighbours
