Displacements within urban spaces have attracted particular interest among researchers. We examine the journeys that happen in the Madrid Community considering 24 travel typologies and 1390 administrative areas. From an origin-destination (OD) matrix, four classes of major flows are characterised through coarse-graining: hotspot-non-hotspots, non-hotspot-hotspots, hotspots-hotspots, non-hotspot-non-hotspot.

In this work, we describe a stochastic model that yields synthetic networks that closely mimic the properties of annual empirical data.
