**uci** is an `R` package to calculate the Urban Centrality Index (UCI) originally proposed by Pereira et al., (2013). The UCI measures the extent to which the spatial organization of a city or region varies from extreme monocentric to extreme polycentric in a continuous scale from 0 to 1. Values close to 0 indicate more polycentric patterns and values close to 1 indicate a more monocentric urban form.
