abstract: Calculates the Urban Centrality Index (UCI) as in Pereira et al., (2013)
  <https://doi.org/10.1111/gean.12002>. The UCI measures the extent to which the spatial
  organization of a city or region varies from extreme polycentric to extreme monocentric
  in a continuous scale from 0 to 1. Values closer to 0 indicate more polycentric
  patterns and values closer to 1 indicate a more monocentric urban form.
