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…
Overture Point of Interest data for the United Kingdom
Point of Interest data that is globally available, open access and of good quality is sparse, despite being important inputs for research in a number of application areas. New data from the Overture Maps Foundation offers significant potential in this arena, but accessing the data relies on computational resources beyond the skillset and capacity of the average researcher. In this article, we provide a processed version of the Overture places (PO…
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…
Harnessing mobility data to capture changing work from home behaviours between censuses
This paper provides an analysis of working from home patterns in England using data from the 2021 Census to understand (1) how patterns of working from home (WFH) in England have shifted since the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) whether human mobility indicators, specifically Google Community Mobility Reports, provide a reliable proxy for WFH patterns recorded by the 2021 Census, providing a formal evaluation of the reliability of such datasets, whose …
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…
A framework for delineating the scale, extent and characteristics of American retail centre agglomerations
Retail centres are important tools for understanding the distribution and evolution of the retail sector at varying geographical scales. This paper presents a framework through which formal definitions and typologies of retail centres, such as those in the UK, can be extended to the US. Using Chicago as a case study and data from SafeGraph, we present a retail centre delineation method that combines Hierarchical-DBSCAN with ‘H3’, and demonstrate …
There is no formula for life and career’
Early career researchers (ECRs) encounter distinctive opportunities (and challenges) within the neoliberal academy. In this commentary, we reflect on issues common to ECR experiences in quantitative human geography. Our discussion is inspired by and develops conversations from a panel at the Royal Geographical Society‐Institute of British Geographers (RGS‐IBG) postgraduate forum, with panellists from across the subfield. While many aspects of the…
A regional exploration of retail visits during the Covid-19 pandemic
Despite evidence that the COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated significant regional (economic) inequalities, there is a substantial lack of regional insight into the impacts of COVID-19 on the retail sector. In this study, using data from SafeGraph, we adopt a regional approach to explore how visits to retail places changed during the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Chicago Metropolitan area. In particular, we highlight that retail visi…
Employment Characteristics and Income
A l'aide des donnees d'un echantillon representatif de Canadiens âges de 45 ans et plus, ce travail examine l'influence des caracteristiques de la famille et de la population active sur le revenu personnel des femmes et des hommes d'âges divers. Cette analyse evalue si les desavantages salariaux des femmes par rapport aux salaires des hommes sont consistants a travers les groupes d'âges et si les facteurs associes au revenu varient par groupe d'â…
School-based community development as a health promotion strategy for children
In this paper we discuss our experience of engaging 9–10-year-old children in grade 4 in a community development process to deal with community health problems they consider important. With guidance from a facilitator, young children can work cooperatively to identify problems, set priorities, and design and implement activities to address a community health issue. They can reflect upon their actions and the process within which they have worked …
