Abstract: The concepts of street connectivity, street centrality, and how they relate to the land use, have gained increasing appeal among city planners and complex systems researchers. This paper examines the relationship between these two types of street network indicators and land-use types in Singapore. Despite the fact that both approaches have been carried out in parallel and semi-independently, the findings suggest that rather than focusing specifically on single-type of indicators, the combination of both may provide more intuitive results to planning authorities as they are able to better correlate with the geographical division and land use of the city.
