Studies on urban networks mostly focus on street systems, such as streets as links and junctions as nodes. This paper proposes the evaluation model with "building-nodes", to examine how buildings may contribute to the whole urban network. Firstly, by evaluating the total floor area of building nodes in the calculation process of betweenness centrality, the paper proposes the "potential pedestrian flow" which has acceptable correlation coefficient with the pedestrian flow in the actual street network. Secondly, the paper explores the approach to regard urban network as a queueing network where "end-node congestion controls" are possible. For the general understanding of the methodology, the simulation in this paper principally focuses on the effect of changes in building clusters, which elements are all defined as end-nodes, and the advantage of the change in decentralized clusters was confirmed.
