Abstract: The objective of this paper is to study the relations between connectivity and adjacency measures, developed in previous papers, as functions of the urban spatial structure, by means of multivariate statistical techniques at two levels of resolution and spatial aggregation for the kilometre square cells used to record the town of Reading, England. It is shown that of the measures studied one should be discarded as it has no functional relation with the urban spatial structure and the others are structurally interdependent with it. It is concluded that, after having validated these measures with the urban spatial structure, they can be used as indices of built-form development.
