(Soft question) I was wondering if anybody knows of any applications of Algebraic Topology or Topological Graph Theory to Urban Planning/Public Transportation Planning.

¡Thanks!

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks- I was thinking of more complex applications. I understand there is a new field called quantitative urbanization that uses mathematical models to do Urban Design. I was wondering if Topological tools have been used as well. $\endgroup$
