Degree distributions of graph representations for compact urban patterns are scale-dependent. Therefore, the degree statistics alone does not give us the enough information to reach a qualified conclusion on the structure of urban spatial networks. We investigate the statistics of far-away neighbors and propose the new method for automatic structural classification of cities.
