Uncovering urban dynamics via cross-modal representation learning
With the ever-increasing urbanization process, systematically modeling people's activities in the urban space is being recognized as a crucial socioeconomic task. This task was nearly impossible years ago due to the lack of reliable data sources, yet the emergence of geo-tagged social media (GTSM) …

VIrginia Urban Dynamics Study Using DMSP/OLS Nighttime Imagery
Urban dynamics at regional scales has been increasingly important for economics, policies, and land use planning, and monitoring regional scale urban dynamics has become an urgent need in recent years. This study illustrated the use of time series nighttime light (NTL) data from the United States …

Sensing Urban Dynamics Through Crowdsourced Data with the Support of Machine Learning Techniques
… geotagged images has attracted the attention of urban researchers, as it provides first-hand information regarding human activities, perception and the interaction with the built environment, helping researchers illuminate a richer sense of what cities are all about from data itself. Despite the …

The role of spatial configurations in urban dynamics : an analytical model for urban design and development
… model of land values and densities. In urban land dynamics, location plays a significant role in determining the land values and density of development. Two important models namely Space Syntax and Ricardian rent mode, have been developed based on this assumption. This thesis adapts …

Assessing urban dynamics in Johannesburg’s public space : highlighting urban segregation and connectivity patterns of public space from an urban psychology perspective
This research investigates patterns of urban segregation and connectivity in public recreational spaces within the City of Johannesburg, focusing on Innesfree Park and Frank Brown Park along the Corridors of Freedom development spines. Situated in a post-apartheid context, these parks symbolise …

The integration of urban system science and physical design: dynamic simulation technologies for urban resilience
One of the major challenges in plan-making for urban resilience is dealing with the deep uncertainty inherent in urban systems. While design/planning solutions are intended to manage or abate a wide array of negative impacts on the built environment, they many times fail to achieve their intended …
