As cities expand, human mobility has become a central focus of urban planning and policy making to make more inclusive sustainable. Initiatives such as the "15-minutes city" have been put in place shift attention from monocentric city configurations polycentric structures, increasing availability diversity local amenities. Ultimately they expect increase walkability within residential areas. While we know how amenities influence at level, little is known about spatial variations this...

Abstract Existing empirical work has analysed the impacts of COVID‐19 on mortality, fertility and international migration. Less is known about ways in which pandemic influenced patterns internal Anecdotal reports mass migration from large cities to less populated areas have emerged, but lack data prevented empirically assessing this hypothesis. Drawing geographically granular administrative population register data, we aim analyse extent change across urban hierarchy Spain during 2020. Our...

During the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, anecdotal evidence a "rural revival" emerged mirroring "urban exodus" hypothesis. Currently, we know that internal migration to rural areas increased in some countries during 2020, although not with intensity speculated by media. However, little is known about attributes attracting migrants, demographic composition inflows, and if counterurbanisation movements persisted over 2021. Drawing on administrative population register data, analysed main...

Abstract Existing empirical work has focused on assessing the effectiveness of nonpharmaceutical interventions human mobility to contain spread COVID‐19. Less is known about ways in which COVID‐19 pandemic reshaped spatial patterns population movement within countries. Anecdotal evidence an urban exodus from large cities rural areas emerged during early phases across western societies. Yet, these claims have not been empirically assessed. Traditional data sources, such as censuses offer...

While the influence of weather on public transport performance and ridership has been topic for some research, real-time response transit usage to variations in conditions is yet be fully understood. This paper redresses this gap by modelling effect that local exert hourly bus sub-tropical Brisbane, Australia. Drawing a smart card data set detailed measurements, suite time-series regression models are computed capture concurrent lagged effects ridership. Our findings highlight changes...

This study explores longitudinal relationships between material, psycho-social and behavioural social determinants of health multimorbidity people aged 50 years or older in England. We used data from the English Longitudinal Study Ageing collected biannually 2002 2015. Apart basic measure (two more diseases within a person) we constructed two distinct measures order to take into account biology ageing (complex multiple functional limitations). found that likelihood limitations was...

Abstract Population decline is projected to become widespread in Europe, with the continental population set reverse its longstanding trajectory of growth within next 5 years. This represents unfamiliar demographic territory. Despite this, literature on remains sparse and our understanding porous. Particular epistemological deficiencies stem from a lack both cross‐national temporal analyses decline. study seeks address these gaps through novel application sequence cluster analysis techniques...

Abstract The COVID‐19 pandemic has potentially altered the system of population movement around world. As hit cities hardest in wake pandemic, apocalyptic headlines anticipated ‘death cities’. Yet, little was known about impact on and ways it shaped patterns internal out cities. This virtual special issue aims to consolidate our knowledge impacts migration, discuss key lessons we have learnt so far, identify areas for future enquiry. It brings together evidence from six different countries:...

Internal migration is a key driver of patterns human settlement and socio-economic development, but little known about its compositional impacts. Exploiting the wide availability census data, we propose method to quantify internal impacts on local population structures, estimate these for eight large Latin American cities. We show that generally had small feminizing, downgrading educational, demographic window effects: reducing sex ratio, lowering average years schooling, raising share...

We develop a method based on computer vision and hierarchical multilevel model to derive an Urban Street Tree Vegetation Index which aims quantify the amount of vegetation visible from point view pedestrian. Our approach unfolds in two steps. First, areas are detected within street-level imagery using state-of-the-art deep neural network model. Second, information is combined several images aggregated indicator at area level The comparative performance our proposed demonstrated against...

Abstract This paper develops the notion of “open data product”. We define an open product as result processes through which a variety (open and not) are turned into accessible information service, infrastructure, analytics or combination all them, where each step development is designed to promote principles. Open products born out (data) need add value beyond simply publishing existing datasets. argue that process adding should adhere principles (geographic) science, ensuring openness,...

The classical foundations of migration research date from the 1880s with Ravenstein's Laws migration, which represent first comparative analyses internal migration. While his observations remain largely valid, ensuing century has seen considerable progress in data collection practices and methods analysis, turn permitted theoretical advances understanding role population redistribution. Coupling extensive range now available these recent methodological advances, we endeavour to advance...

Abstract The current surge in forced migration to Europe is probably the largest and most complex since Second World War. As population aging accelerates fertility falls below replacement level, immigration may be seen as a key component of human capital address labor skill shortages. Receiving countries are, however, hesitant about contribution that migrants can make local economy. Coupled with increasing pressure on welfare services, they are associated increased job competition crime....

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of three measures multimorbidity among people aged 50 years or older in England. Beside basic measure two more diseases within a person, we added affected body systems (complex multimorbidity) and 10 functional limitations. We found that health outcomes became prevalent between 2002 2015. They were common females than males becoming younger age groups. While 2002, overcame 50% from 70-74 group upwards, 2015 it crossed same threshold 65-69 group....

Abstract Large-scale coordinated efforts have been dedicated to understanding the global health and economic implications of COVID-19 pandemic. Yet, rapid spread discrimination xenophobia against specific populations has largely neglected. Understanding public attitudes toward migration is essential counter immigrants promote social cohesion. Traditional data sources monitor opinion are often limited, notably due slow collection release activities. New forms data, particularly from media,...

The literature of spatial inequalities is currently "fragmented" across ethnic segregation and built environment domains. Inequalities in these dimensions are often considered isolation one from another. For example, segregated areas more disadvantaged terms unemployment, housing conditions access to services. By using a combination the most recent Census series openly available datasets related ambient urban characteristics at Lower Super Output Area (LSOA) for 12 biggest cities England, we...
