    Abstract

    We show that a graph class $\cal G$ has \emph{bounded expansion} if and only if it has bounded \emph{$r$-neighbourhood complexity}, \ie for any vertex set $X$ of any subgraph~$H$ of any $G\in\cal G$, the number of subsets of $X$ which are exact $r$-neighbourhoods of vertices of $H$ on $X$ is linear in the size of $X$. This is established by bounding the $r$-neighbourhood complexity of a graph in terms of both its \emph{$r$-centred colouring number} and its \emph{weak $r$-colouring number}, which provide known characterisations to the property of bounded expansion.
