Digital twins and AI for healthy and sustainable cities
The paper discusses the relevance of the latest advances in data science and artificial intelligence for urban systems research. It has a particular focus on the importance of recent innovations in the context of ‘wicked’ urban problems which continue to confront decision-makers within practical policy settings. It is argued that the latest advances in AI such as large language models offer the potential for transformative research, but only if p…
Developing two-dimensional indicators of transport demand and supply to promote sustainable transportation equity
Inadequate supply of transport infrastructure is often seen as a barrier to a sustainable future for cities globally. Such barriers often perpetuate significant inequalities in who can and who cannot benefit from sustainable transport opportunities, and as a result there is momentum for transformative urban planning to promote sustainable transportation equity. This study introduces a new set of two-dimensional indicators, merging elements of sup…
Using composite indicators and city dashboards to promote place-based policy interventions
Spatial inequality is a common urban phenomena in cities around the world, where stark contrasts in a variety of different social and economic outcomes paint a vivid picture of compound inequalities. Tackling these influences from a policy perspective remains challenging, as political economies often span multiple actors and municipal bodies, lacking effective policy instruments to challenge multiple forms of inequality at once. This paper provid…
Integrating the Who, What, and Where of U.S. Retail Center Geographies
Retail is an important function at the core of urban areas, occupying a key role in determining their economic prosperity, desirability, and vibrancy. Efforts to understand the geographies of retail centers, the cores of retailing in urban areas, have a long academic tradition, often studied through either rich local case studies, or when geographically more expansive, are constrained by limited detail. New data in United States detailing the loc…
