The basic of urban economic models depends on that index of accessibility within the urban spatial structure playing a significant role in determining the land prices. In this chapter, the index of accessibility was analysed by space syntax parameters to investigate the effect of spatial characteristics on the land prices within the whole urban structure of the city.The findings showed the urban spatial structure of the city generates two patterns of urban movement. Firstly, the pattern of global movement (global accessibility) minimises the trips from the main centre to the edge of the city or from the sub-centre to another sub-centre within the whole urban structure. This global process is determined by global spatial characteristics (mean depth) to value the land price. Secondly, the pattern of local movement (local accessibility), minimises the trips to all activities within the local urban structure of the sub-centre. This local process is determined by local spatial characteristics (local integration and connectivity) to value the land prices.The chapter used the hedonic regression model to analyse the correlations between the spatial characteristics of the urban structure of Wroclaw City in Poland as a case study and land prices.
