Happy to share that a book chapter of mine on Spatial Analysis in The Encyclopedia of Human Geography has been published 😃: dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-…. This entry provides a comprehensive overview of spatial analysis as a collection of contemporary techniques within Human Geography

We are the first research group ever to have a dedicated session in a Climate Change AI event! 🥳

Global Streetscapes Dataset from National University of Singapore The researchers, led by Filip Biljecki from NUS Urban Analytics Lab, have released a comprehensive dataset of 10 million street-level images across 688 cities for urban science and analytics.

On Mon 21 Oct, we're glad to host Dr Elisabetta Colucci from Politecnico di Torino 🇮🇹. She will give a talk 'From Built Heritage 3D Spatial Documentation to National Hazards Maps: a multi-scale & multi-techniques research approach'. You're welcome to join! ual.sg/seminars/

Thank you to Scott Simmons, Chief Standards Officer of the Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Open Geospatial: OGC, for visiting our research group. We have been an active member of the OGC for a long time, and we are glad to continue our involvement and collaboration. 🌐

A paper by Fan Zicheng from our Urban Analytics Lab brings a new paradigm: urban sensing via Nighttime Street View Imagery (SVI) 🌃, drawing on the popularity and accomplishments of daytime SVI ☀️, and giving attention to its ignored nighttime counterpart🌛. doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.…

Sustainable Cities and Society publishes a new paper by Fan Zicheng & Filip Biljecki that brings a new paradigm — urban sensing via Nighttime Street View Imagery (SVI). Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.…

We're developing urban digital twins that give more attention to human aspects. Junjie Luo has built a prototype that integrates visual perception and sets the scene for automatically predicting the perception of various scenarios of new buildings before they are built.

This week, we continued our seminar series. Dr Elisabetta Colucci (Politecnico di Torino 🇮🇹) delivered an insightful lecture during which she has shared the broad range of project conducted at her research group. ual.sg/post/2024/10/2…

Cities publishes a new paper by Junjie Luo, Pengyuan Liu, Wenhui Xu, Tianhong Zhao, and Filip Biljecki that integrates human visual perceptions into urban digital twins. doi.org/10.1016/j.citi…

TR-A publishes a paper by Koichi Ito, prateek bansal & Filip Biljecki on examining the causal relationships between street features & cycling mobility. It used historical street view imagery & cyclist counts to reveal the effects of urban design on 🚲 activities. doi.org/10.1016/j.tra.…

Cities publishes a paper on quantifying and analysing window views using images obtained from online real estate ads. The study, based on 3041 views, reveals that an increased proportion of water views has a significant positive effect on property prices. doi.org/10.1016/j.citi…

Cities publishes a review paper by Yihan Zhu, Ye Zhang, and Filip Biljecki on understanding the user perspective on urban public spaces. The paper is available open access at doi.org/10.1016/j.citi…

Glad to conduct a research visit at the University of Tokyo 🇯🇵 CSIS official led by Prof Yoshihide Sekimoto and at his Lab. Many thanks for the generous hospitality and sharing the expertise, and to his research group and others at UTokyo for the warm welcome and engaging discussions

.IJGIS publishes a new paper by Dayu Yu et al. on exploring efficient management and service methods for 3D data in spatial data infrastructures. It introduces an integrated approach for the management and streaming of 3D spatial data. doi.org/10.1080/136588…

Check our new paper: Sensing climate justice: A multi-hyper graph approach for classifying urban heat and flood vulnerability through street view imagery, published in Sustainable Cities and Society: doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.…

NY Greetings! 🎉 uLab has undergone exciting developments since 2020! We're evolving into an independent platform: Urban Infrastructure Transition Lab (uitlab.org). Based in the UK, Hong Kong, and China, we focus on infrastructure research and practice. Stay tuned!🚀
