From the betweenness centrality in street networks to structural invariants in random planar graphs

The betweenness centrality is a metric commonly used in network analysis. Here the authors show that the distribution of this metric in urban street networks is invariant in the case of 97 cities. This invariance could affect network flows, dynamics and congestion management in cities.
