Thanks (!) to GESIS @gesisorg.bsky.social, @StefanJuenger for organizing a super rich workshop on „Earth Observation Data in the Social Sciences“. How to use remote sensing data to learn about population growth in urban and suburban areas? I presented upcoming work, showcasing this in Germany.

Excited to finally see our tool online! You can now explore 30 years of #Migration history between world regions, countries, and within #Germany on our Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung (BiB) website. 🌏 Shout out to Dr Nikola Sander, Tamilwai J. Kolowa, and VisKom_KunstuniLinz for the great team work. 💪

What’s the trade-off between housing people and preserving green space? Melanie Krause presents interesting findings at #ERSA2024. Eg., in high-income countries more residents don’t mean less green space ➡️ are cities able to densify and preserve by building up? #urbangrowth

This ESA post provides a nice overview of how our research challenges some common assumptions about informal settlements in rapidly growing cities, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. With Michiel Daams and Monika Kuffer Bundesinstitut für Bevölkerungsforschung (BiB)

Over COP29, the World Bank published more results from our Urban Climate Finance analysis for 2019-2022. Avg. annual climate finance to urban areas and cities has gone up 30% since our last analysis. More results in this blog: wrld.bg/BfRx50Ub7Ox
