Networks of the Belt and Road
China has emerged as the world's biggest source of development finance, far out‐spending traditional sources of aid. In recent years, researchers have made progress in collecting and documenting China's influence through its financing of projects all over the world; however, most of that focus has been on either the Chinese financiers or the effect of Chinese financing on its recipients. In this paper, we focus instead on the network of non‐Chine…

China’s hidden role in malaria control and elimination in Africa
BACKGROUND: Insufficient funding is hindering the achievement of malaria elimination targets in Africa, despite the pressing need for increased investment in malaria control. While Western donors attribute their inaction to financial constraints, the global health community has limited knowledge of China's expanding role in malaria prevention. This knowledge gap arises from the fact that China does not consistently report its foreign development …
Chinese health funding in Africa
The motivations behind China’s allocation of health aid to Africa remain complex due to limited information on the details of health aid project activities. Insufficient knowledge about the purpose of China’s health aid hinders our understanding of China’s comprehensive role in supporting Africa’s healthcare system. To address this gap, our study aimed to gain better insights into China’s health aid priorities and the factors driving these priori…

Gendered Impacts of Environmental Degradation in Informal Settlements
Degraded urban environments disproportionately affect marginalized populations, and especially impoverished women in South Asia’s informal settlements, where climate change vulnerabilities and gender inequalities are extreme. A comparative analysis was conducted of three neighboring countries, India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, where urban environments, climate risks, and gender relations exhibit significant variances. With original survey data fro…
Utility of ecological momentary assessments to collect data on fear of crime
Smartphone technology provides a unique opportunity to collect context-specific data from individuals. Very few published studies have attempted to gather context-specific information on fear of crime using smartphone technology. With our pilot study in Lahore, Pakistan, we examined the utility of administration of Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) via our smartphone application to collect real-time and context-dependent information on tran…
Exploring Creativity and Urban Development with Agent-Based Modeling
Scholars and urban planners have suggested that the key characteristic of leading world cities is that they attract the highest quality human talent through educational and professional opportunities. They offer enabling environments for productive human interactions and the growth of knowledge-based industries which drives economic growth through innovation. Both through hard and soft infrastructure, they offer physical connectivity which foster…
