Dynamic-IMD (D-IMD): Introducing activity spaces to deprivation measurement in London, Birmingham and Liverpool
Indicators of deprivation intersect a variety of disciplinary contexts. In this article, we build a multi-space measure of deprivation by introducing urban mobilities derived from location footprints of nearly three million mobile phone users. Traditionally, experiences of deprivation have been estimated through a lens fixed to residential spaces, which overlooks the likelihood individuals experience deprivation beyond that implied by where they …
A geographic data science framework for the functional and contextual analysis of human dynamics within global cities
This study develops a Geographic Data Science framework that transforms the Foursquare check-in locations and user origin-destination flows data into knowledge about the emerging forms and characteristics of cities' neighbourhoods. We employ a longitudinal mobility dataset describing human interactions with Foursquare venues in ten global cities: Chicago, Istanbul, Jakarta, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Seoul, Singapore, Tokyo. This socia…
Building Hierarchies of Retail Centers Using Bayesian Multilevel Models
The perceived quality of urban environments is intrinsically tied to the availability of desirable leisure and retail opportunities. In this article, we explore methodological approaches for deriving indicators that estimate the willingness to pay for retail and leisure services offered by retail centers. Most often, because the quality of urban environments cannot be qualified by a natural unit, the willingness to pay for an urban environment is…
Waiting on the train”: The anticipatory (causal) effects of Crossrail in Ealing
This paper estimates the willingness-to-pay for anticipated journey-time savings introduced by the Crossrail intervention in the London Borough of Ealing. Given Crossrail remains under construction, we estimate how the anticipated benefit of Crossrail's announcement enters the house price determination process. Anticipated journey-time savings should enter the home-buyer's pricing equation because these benefits are speculatively internalised eve…
