Refining urban typologies: causal insights into urban form, car commuting, and related CO2 emissions (opens in new tab)

Urban transport is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, making effective urban planning crucial for climate mitigation. Global typologies of cities can help to scale planning strategies, yet they hardly capture how interventions translate into local contexts. Big urban data, combined with artificial intelligence, holds great potential to facilitate scalable yet location-specific planning to reduce urban travel and related emissions. However, current research falls short in recognizing ...
