DOI: 10.1016/j.habitatint.2021.102343
Abstract: Abstract Urban spatial structure and mobility patterns co-evolve. A fundamental process that underpins the emergent structure of cities and commuting patterns is location choice with respect to housing and employment. Consequently, location choice models constitute… read more here.

Influences of urban spatial form on urban heat island effects at the community level in China
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Sustainable Cities and Society"
DOI: 10.1016/j.scs.2019.101972
Abstract: Abstract Owing to increasing population densities and impervious surface areas, heat island effects increasingly dominate urban environments and hinder sustainable development. The urban spatial form plays an important role in mitigating urban heat islands. Taking… read more here.
