Cover Story: The world is urbanizing faster than any time before, making it increasingly important to understand and model urban growth patterns. Fractal geometry, as a universally seen signature of urban form and socioeconomic function, has supported advancements in replicating real-world patterns in urban simulation models. Our review and bibliometric analysis of applications of fractal geometry applied to urban planning shows an apparent gap between technical research and the community of planning, with most research on fractal and planning published outside the planning literature. The current primer is aimed to bridge this gap. We also address evidence on normative findings around fractal cities—whether and how cities’ fractal form can support good planning. View this paper
