Urban Interventions to Reduce Pollution Exposure and Improve Spatial Equity
New publication by Mirjam Schindler and Geoffrey Caruso Abstract Air pollution is of increasing concern to urban residents and urban planners are struggling to find interventions which tackle the trade‐off between environmental, health, and economic impacts arising from this. We analyze within a spatially explicit theoretical residential choice model how different urban interventions can reduce
Quadtrees Hub#1
Tue 22nd 2PM, we launch a new series of internal workshop – Quadtrees Hubs– to discuss ongoing research in quantitative methods, urban analytics and spatial data from both the Urban Development and Mobility Dpt of LISER and the Dpt of Geography and Spatial Planning at the University of Luxembourg. The aim is to share and

Now there is a formal link between standard intra-urban theory of residential choice and population scaling as of urban systems theory! A must read in Geographical Analysis
Justin Delloye, Rémi Lemoy (now at UMR Idées, Rouen) and Geoffrey Caruso just published an article where they reconcile Alonso and the scaling literature. This is done through an augmented micro-economic model where scaling exponents are explicit and the scaling with population of the profile of residential land is exogenously given to better suit empirical

Models Map City Residents’ Aversion to Pollution
In an article titled “Models Map City Residents’ Aversion to Pollution – New theoretical models help urban planners understand how residents think about clean air”, Jennifer Leman, science journalist at Inside Science reports on a recent publication from our group by Mirjam Schindler (now postdoc fellow at Geospatial Research Institute, Christchurch, NZ ) and Geoffrey
Back from Complexity and UrbanSys @CCS2018, Thessaloniki, Greece
This is a quick report on my first participation to a Complex systems conference 2 weeks ago in Thessaloniki, Greece (http://ccs2018.web.auth.gr/). We were 2 from Luxembourg attending: Kaarel had a contribution within the “Evolution of Cultural Complexity”, while I was kindly invited by Elsa Arcaute (CASA, UCL) for a guest talk within the UrbanSys satellite. My first
