Urban Analytics
We are an interdisciplinary research group studying cities and how they change. We investigate how people, places, and different components of urban systems interact to shape cities over time. Our research focuses on urban mobility, housing, and land use, including their interactions with the urban environment and energy systems, and implications for health and well-being. We are particularly interested in how urban processes and outcomes differ across places and population groups, and how inequalities emerge and evolve.
The unit is led by Prof. Esra Suel and brings together researchers from different disciplinary backgrounds. Learn more about our team, research, and teaching below.
