Abstract
In this article we analyse the growth of OpenStreetMap (OSM)
representations for three street networks in Ireland. In each case
we demonstrate the growth to be governed by two elementary
spatial processes of densification and exploration which are
responsible for increasing the local density of the network and
expanding the network into new areas respectively. We also
examine summary statistics describing each network topology
and show these to be a consequence of the same processes. This
represents the discovery of a novel link between different aspects
of the growth.
