Spatial Multi-Objective Land Use Optimization
My first contribution, albeit a very minor one, to this area for a very long time; with Kai Cao and others from CUHK and elsewhere. Read our article now online at IJGIS. To an extent, this is an area not well represented here … Continue reading

BitCity
BitCity tomorrow (3rd November) at Columbia (NYC). Click left for my presentation on Cities as Flow Systems. Talks about CASA’s Oyster Card, Bikes, Networks, and LUTI model projects and how they can be used to look at fractured networks. Thanks … Continue reading
