Urbanization in European countries has resulted in drastic changes in urban morphologies and land-use patterns due to inherent sprawl processes. To assess the shift from compact forms towards dispersed and polycentric settlements, an original procedure based on exploratory data analysis has been proposed using easily and freely available statistical indicators. The procedure has been applied to the Emilia Romagna region, considered as an emblematic case study for European regions with high levels of income and well-being, infrastructures and anthropogenic pressure on land.

Abstract
Urbanization in European countries has resulted in drastic changes in urban morphologies and land-use patterns due to inherent sprawl processes. To assess the shift from compact forms towards dispersed and polycentric settlements, an original procedure based on exploratory data analysis has been proposed using easily and freely available statistical indicators. The procedure has been applied to the Emilia Romagna region, considered as an emblematic case study for European regions with high levels of income and well-being, infrastructures and anthropogenic pressure on land.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
