More neighborhood green space, fewer park visits? Evidence from mobile phone-based population movement data in a major Chinese city
Upward growth or demolition? patterns of three-dimensional urban form change across Chinese cities between 2015 and 2024
OSM land use data quality and its association with city-level socioeconomic conditions in China
OpenStreetMap (OSM) can serve as an alternative to map the built environment in data-sparse areas such as China. However, the quality of OSM land use data and its relationship with city-level socioeconomic conditions (e.g., income level) remain understudied. Using a sample of 332 Chinese cities and the time-series China Urban Land Use Mapping dataset as the reference, we investigated inter- and intra-city variations in the completeness and accura…

Associations between urban greenspace and depressive symptoms in Mexico's cities using different greenspace metrics
Greenspace has been shown to be positively associated with mental wellbeing, but studies from the global South have been scarce. We advance the understanding of the relationship between greenspace and depressive symptoms by using multiple clearly defined metrics describing neighborhood greenness and urban parks in an understudied region with rapid urban growth. We linked individual-level health survey data for urban residents in Mexico (n = 17,25…
Prior water availability modifies the effect of heavy rainfall on dengue transmission
Introduction: Given the rapid geographic spread of dengue and the growing frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall events, it is imperative to understand the relationship between these phenomena in order to propose effective interventions. However, studies exploring the association between heavy rainfall and dengue infection risk have reached conflicting conclusions, potentially due to the neglect of prior water availability in mosquito breeding…
Recent greening may curb urban warming in Latin American cities of better economic conditions
Rising temperatures have profound impacts on the well-being of urban residents. However, factors explaining the temporal variability of urban thermal environment, or urban warming, remain insufficiently understood, especially in the Global South. Addressing this gap, we studied the relationship between city-level economic conditions and urban warming, and how urban green space mediated this relationship, focusing on 359 major Latin American citie…
Modification of temperature-related human mortality by area-level socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in Latin American cities
Evidence of effect modification of cold-related mortality in Latin American cities was limited, and unexpected patterns of modification of heat-related mortality were observed. Socioeconomic deprivation may impact cold-related mortality, particularly among the elderly. The findings of higher levels of poverty and income inequality associated with lower heat-related mortality deserve further investigation given the increasing importance of urban a…
Towards Resilient Critical Infrastructures
Sea level rise (SLR) and storm surge inundation are major concerns along the coast of the San Francisco Bay (the Bay Area), impacting both coastal communities and critical infrastructure networks. The oil industry comprises a complex and critical infrastructure network located in the Bay Area. There is an urgent need to assess consequences and identify risk-based solutions to increase the resilience of this industrial network in the Bay Area to S…
Disentangling associations between vegetation greenness and dengue in a Latin American city
Being a Re-Emerging Infectious Disease, dengue causes 390 million cases globally and is prevalent in many urban areas in South America. Understanding the fine-scale relationships between dengue incidence and environmental and socioeconomic factors can guide improved disease prevention strategies. This ecological study examines the association between dengue incidence and satellite-based vegetation greenness in 3826 census tracts nested in 474 nei…
Latin American cities with higher socioeconomic status are greening from a lower baseline
The characteristics of urban green space have context-dependent associations with socioeconomic status (SES). Latin American cities provide a unique but understudied context to assess the green space-SES associations. We measured the quantity and quality of green space as greenness from satellite-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and we modeled the relationship between greenness and SES in 371 major Latin American cities between 200…
