Validating urban scaling laws through mobile phone data
Urban scaling theories posit that larger cities exhibit disproportionately higher levels of socioeconomic activity and human interactions. Yet, evidence from developing countries (especially those marked by stark socioeconomic disparities) remains limited. To address this gap, we analyse a month-long dataset of 3.1 billion voice-call records from Brazil’s 100 most populous cities, providing a national-scale test of urban scaling laws. We measure …
MobilityHexVis
Urban mobility patterns reveal important socio-spatial phenomena, yet visualizing these patterns from massive datasets presents significant challenges. We introduce MobilityHexVis, an interactive visualization platform for analyzing urban mobility flows from mobile phone data classified by socioeconomic status. Our approach employs small multiples visualization with hexagonal glyphs, enabling simultaneous comparison of mobility patterns across di…
Urban green space percolation
Urban green spaces (UGS) are increasingly planned as connected networks, yet many connectivity assessments reduce cost variation to a static threshold and provide limited guidance on where to intervene. We develop a percolation-based framework for translating dynamic UGS connectivity into ecological management priorities. The framework constructs a least-cost, cost-weighted UGS network, activates edges in ascending cost-weighted distance to ident…
Uncovering the Socioeconomic Structure of Spatial and Social Interactions in Cities
The relationship between urban mobility, social networks, and socioeconomic status is complex and difficult to apprehend, notably due to the lack of data. Here we use mobile phone data to analyze the socioeconomic structure of spatial and social interaction in the Chilean urban system. Based on the concept of spatial and social events, we develop a methodology to assess the level of spatial and social interactions between locations according to t…
Low-cost emerging technologies as a tool to support informal environmental education in children from vulnerable public schools of southern Chile
Reform to the Chilean educational system seeks to improve public education, adapting the school curriculum to new technologies and the information revolution. Our study focused on highlighting potential issues with environmental and technological education, offering opportunities to complement the current Chilean curriculum with an interdisciplinary approach. During a five-week period interspersed through the school semester, 115 underprivileged …
Observación espacial y análisis de la relación entre las emisiones atmosféricas de CO2 y el tamaño de las ciudades en Chile
Las tasas de crecimiento urbano han tenido un desarrollo explosivo impactando fuertemente el sistema de soporte vital de nuestro planeta, por lo que medir y comprender la relación entre el crecimiento urbano y las tasas de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero resulta esencial para asegurar la sustentabilidad de los ambientes donde vivirá el 67% de la población mundial en el año 2050. Este artículo busca, por un lado, establecer la posibilidad…
