Research framework
Our work follows a research chain: observe dynamic populations, understand movement, measure environmental encounters, identify inequality, sense health change and estimate health effects.
PEOPLE
Mapping where people are, how urban populations change through time, and why static census surfaces are not enough for fast-moving cities.
PEOPLE
Understanding movement between and within cities, and how mobility reshapes exposure, accessibility, transmission and urban resilience.
ENVIRONMENT
Measuring changing encounters with air pollution, green and blue space, heat, floods, wildfire and the three-dimensional built environment.
ENVIRONMENT
Identifying who benefits from environmental amenities, who bears environmental burdens, and how disparities vary across cities and populations.
HEALTH
Using digital traces, search behaviour and spatial signals to observe population health dynamics between conventional surveys and clinical records.
HEALTH
Linking environmental conditions to mortality, respiratory health, mental well-being and unequal disease burdens across population groups.
