ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the possibilities of a network analysis that was intended to elicit the small worldliness of the built urban form of a place. This network analysis pilot study of Brisbanes South Bank redevelopment site in 1997 and in 2012 is intended to elicit the small world characteristics of grid or mesh like networks such as the Watts and Strogatz (WS) small world or of tree like networks such as the Barabasi and Albert (BA) scale free network model. The network analysis was a small part of the research, it merely offers a pilot study which supported more extensive studies into the role of human cognition and perception within a research framework of conceived space, perceived space and adaptive space. The modified approach used in this present pilot study focuses on the network of neighbourhoods and intersection connectivity to elicit the small worldliness of South Bank.
