Spatial and social inequities in access to essential healthcare services
Access to healthcare services remains a persistent challenge, disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations. Limited access results in lower service utilisation and worse health outcomes, hindering progress toward inclusive and sustainable cities. This study developed a novel methodological framework integrating high-resolution (1-km 2 ) socio-demographic data from the 2021 Canadian Census with an advanced multimodal transport routing engin…
Monitoring the well-being of vulnerable transit riders using machine learning based sentiment analysis and social media
Using open-source data, we show that despite significant reductions in global public transit during the COVID-19 pandemic, ∼20% of ridership continues during social distancing measures. Current urban transport data collection methods do not account for the distinct behavioural and psychological experiences of the population. Therefore, little is known about the travel experience of vulnerable citizens that continue to rely on public transit and t…
Assessing Trade-Offs and Optimal Ranges of Density for Life Expectancy and 12 Causes of Mortality in Metro Vancouver, Canada, 1990–2016
Areas with higher population densities generally have lower rates of mortality from the major causes, but these environments are also associated with higher relative inequality from largely preventable causes of death
A data-driven complex network approach for planning sustainable and inclusive urban mobility hubs and services
New mobility services that facilitate multimodal options are important for strategic urban transport systems planning. Part of this strategy is municipal investment in urban mobility hubs to increase access to mobility services. We present a new evaluation framework and algorthim to locate and assess the sustainability and equity impacts of hubs in cities. Scenarios are used to evaluate hub investment strategies in different cities that prioritiz…
Smart urban mobility for mitigating carbon emissions, reducing health impacts and avoiding environmental damage costs
Significant global investments are being made into smart urban mobility technologies but there is limited evidence of the potential co-benefits for reducing carbon emissions, environmental pollutants and human health impacts at scale and over the long-term. We use conservative estimates of vehicle electrification and grid decarbonization to focus specifically on ICT (information and communication technology) interventions. In doing so, we develop…
A spatiotemporal analysis of inequalities in life expectancy and 20 causes of mortality in sub-neighbourhoods of Metro Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 1990–2016
Spatially varying baseline data can help identify and prioritise actions directed to determinants of intra-urban health inequalities. Twenty-seven years (1990-2016) of cause-specific mortality data in British Columbia, Canada were linked to three demographic data sources. Bayesian small area estimation models were used to estimate life expectancy (LE) at birth and 20 cause-specific mortality rates by sex and year. The gaps in LE for males and fem…
Insights from Self-Organizing Maps for Predicting Accessibility Demand for Healthcare Infrastructure
As urban populations grow worldwide, it becomes increasingly important to critically analyse accessibility—the ease with which residents can reach key places or opportunities. The combination of ‘big data’ and advances in computational techniques such as machine learning (ML) could be a boon for urban accessibility studies, yet their application in this field remains limited. In this study, we provided detailed predictions of healthcare accessibi…
