Density vs Intensity vs Density vs... Case Study of Belgrade

Abstract

Urban density is a quantitative category. It’s possible to measure, describe and analyze it, even plan and manage it, by using relatively simple statistic methods and tools. Urban intensity is something completely different. Urban intensity is vivid, qualitative category. Furthermore, the quality is directly related to the culture, because it depends on unique value system of the specific culture. Even though urban density and urban intensity speak obviously different languages, it's possible to correlate them. Obviously, we need some new tools - some kind of translator among these languages.
