Figure 2. The fractal pattern of self-organizing urbanism.: On the left is a simple fractal pattern called a “Cantor Gasket”. On the right is a much more complex and irregular pattern with recognizably similar fractal properties, a traditional urban neighborhood in Baghdad, Iraq. Notice the similar patterning at different scales of bordering spaces and alternating patterns of indoor-outdoor space. © Drawing by Nikos A. Salingaros (left), Image: G.
