Introduction
This profiler brings together a set of urban manufacturing and urban morphology measures in the area of Greater London. Manufacturing is quantified according to 3 indicators: ‘Manufacturing Businesses’ (London Datastore), ‘Manufacturing Jobs’ (BRES) and ‘Industrial Land Designations’ (GLA). For a detailed review of these categories including the data sources see
here. A cartographic summary can be consulted
here.
To investigate the relationships between these measures with the spatial accesibility and urban structure of Greater London,
Space Syntax measures of ‘Choice’(through-routes) and ‘Integration’(to-routes) at 2km and 10km distances are used to create 12 map overlays.
The selection of street segments with highest ‘Choice’ and ‘Integration’ (top 20%) shows a clearer view of the key street segments in each measure. A summary for these measures is shown below.

The differences betwween these measures is not only in their metrics but also in their spatial pattern
