Multimodal Deep Learning Framework for Profiling Socio-Economic Indicators and Public Health Determinants in Urban Environments
Urbanization significantly enhances socio-economic conditions, health, and well-being for many by improving access to services, education, and economic opportunities. However, socio-economic and public health disparities are also being exacerbated by urbanization. The reliable data required to monitor these conditions are often unavailable, outdated, or inconsistent. This study introduces a multimodal deep learning framework that integrates satel…
Integrating Machine Learning and Geospatial Data for Mapping Socioeconomic Vulnerability to Urban Natural Hazard
Rapid urbanization and climate change are increasing the risks associated with natural hazards, especially in cities where socio-economic disparities are significant. Current hazard risk assessment frameworks fail to consider socio-economic factors, which limits their ability to effectively address vulnerabilities at the community level. This study introduces a machine learning framework designed to assess flood susceptibility and socio-economic …
Two Sides of the Coin
In a bid to become global cities and centers of innovation, many African cities have embraced rapid physical transformation as the default urban development paradigm. However, this development mantra is exacting a significant social cost. At the core of this physical transformation lies land expropriation, granting governments the power to accumulate land in the name of public interest. Focusing on Kigali as a case study and employing the livelih…
Fostering Neighbourhood Social–Ecological Resilience Through Land Readjustment in Rapidly Urbanising Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa
Rapid urbanisation in Sub-Saharan Africa demands innovative land management strategies that promote sustainable, inclusive, and resilient urban development. This study investigates the potential of land readjustment (LR) to foster neighbourhood-scale social–ecological urban resilience (SEUR) through a case study of the Nunga LR project in Kigali, Rwanda. Grounded in the social–ecological system (SES) theory and operationalised through the social–…
Dynamique urbaine et développement d’îlots de chaleur urbains à Kigali, Rwanda
Kigali fait partie des villes d’Afrique de l’Est ayant connu une évolution spatiale et physique rapide à partir des années 2010. L’artificialisation des terres progresse au détriment des espaces boisés à cause de la densification du bâti et des routes bitumées ou pavées. Ces dynamiques urbaines contribuent au développement des îlots de chaleur. La littérature scientifique positionne les îlots de chaleur comme un enjeu environnemental et sociétal …
Enabling planned urban settlements through land readjustment - A case study from Kigali, Rwanda
Uncovering ‘sleeping beauty’
Land readjustment offers opportunities for addressing challenges related to rapid urbanisation but is rarely used in practice, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This situation has led some researchers to refer to the untapped potential as “sleeping beauty”. Through a narrative review, this study analyses the self-financing potential of land readjustment and the implications for its application in sub-Saharan Africa. The results show that governme…
Exploring the connection between spatial justice and land tenure security
Scoping land tenure security for the poor and low-income urban dwellers from a spatial justice lens
