Inhaltsangabe

The economic and political situation of cities has shifted in recent years in light of rapid growth amidst infrastructure decline, the suburbanization of poverty and inner city revitalization. At the same time, the way that data are used to understand urban systems has changed dramatically. 

Urban Analytics offers a field-defining look at the challenges and opportunities of using new and emerging data to study contemporary and future cities through methods including GIS, Remote Sensing, Big Data and Geodemographics.

Written in an accessible style and packed with illustrations and interviews from key urban analysts, this is a groundbreaking new textbook for students of urban planning, urban design, geography, and the information sciences.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Seth Spielman is an Associate Professor of Geography at the University of Colorado. His expertise is in the intersection of maps, statistics, and machine learning. He has received the Breheny Prize for work in Urban Analytics, a distinguished scholar award in Planning from the American Association of Geographers, and was profiled in the journal Science as an archetype of a new generation of data-centric geographers. His publications have appeared in a diverse set of journals including PNAS, PlosOne, Demography, Annals of the Association of American Geographers, and the International Journal of GIS. Outside of academia his professional experience has ranged from the hyper digital world of Data Science and Software Engineering in Silicon Valley to the insanely analog practice of being the sole proprietor of an antiquarian bookshop in Manhattan.



David Folch is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Florida State University. His research focuses on spatial analytical methods, with a contextual interest in US cities and neighborhoods. His approach to research sits at the intersection of geography, economics and computer science, which in practice means merging geographic and economic theories with high-performance computing and large datasets to address research questions with distinctly spatial manifestations. His work has involved developing improved measures for residential segregation and the creation of spatial approaches for reducing uncertainty in American Community Survey estimates. He holds degrees in geography and economics.
