Using Multi-Source Geospatial Big Data to Identify the Structure of Polycentric Cities
Remote Sensing of Environment, 202, 210–221
Read publication ↗Research question
How can urban centers and polycentric structure be identified without relying on a single conventional dataset?
Geographic scope
Polycentric urban systems
Evidence base
Multi-source geospatial big data
Approach
Multiple geospatial signals describing the built city and human activity are integrated to identify the organization of urban centers.
Why it matters
The study demonstrates an early data-fusion approach to reading urban structure through both physical form and human activity.
