tween 248 meters from the communal centre. For a better underst<strong>and</strong><strong>in</strong>g we can sum<br />

up numbers of address po<strong>in</strong>ts with a distance more than 500 meters <strong>and</strong> compare<br />

with the rest. This results <strong>in</strong> to the total number of 608 address po<strong>in</strong>ts over 500 meters<br />

<strong>and</strong> 167 address po<strong>in</strong>ts under 500 meters that comprise respectively 79 percent<br />

<strong>and</strong> 21 percent of the all po<strong>in</strong>ts. These number <strong>and</strong> proportions make a dist<strong>in</strong>ction<br />

between this neighbourhood <strong>and</strong> R<strong>in</strong>keby which even obta<strong>in</strong>ed considerable number<br />

of houses with network placed farther than 500 meters from it centre. It seems that<br />

Bredäng network fails to offer a proper accessibility to residents both <strong>in</strong> physical <strong>and</strong><br />

syntactic manner. But the problem appears more <strong>in</strong>tense <strong>in</strong> syntactic aspect if we<br />

consider the respective proportions of R<strong>in</strong>keby.<br />

The axial model of Rågsved<br />

The axial model of Rågsved has 240 l<strong>in</strong>es. Consider<strong>in</strong>g the area which covers approximately<br />

105 hectares, Rågsved proposes a network at a lower density than the<br />

other cases. There are only few l<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> the model <strong>in</strong>dicated by high <strong>in</strong>tegration values<br />

that displays a quite segregated image of the neighbourhood. It is noteworthy<br />

that similar to Bredäng, this axial model is mostly made of short l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong>tersect<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
