📢 Our new publication: A systematic review of geographically informed ecological momentary assessment (GEMA) studies on the place-based correlates of mental health, substance use and wellbeing
www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

With Ronja Christensen, Charlotte Constable Fernandez, Noémie Topalian, Laura Vaughan @kimonkrenz.bsky.social @alexandrapitman.bsky.social @ucl.ac.uk @drannekathrinfett.bsky.social @citystgeorges.bsky.social
n=33 studies using GEMA: real-time, location-aware data collection to capture place

New paper in Cities! We introduce a method to date UK high streets and find that greater land-use diversity and local centrality is related to their longevity. Modest but meaningful links between form, function and persistence. Open access 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2025.106136

Can #airpollution and the green space around my home affect my brain health?

My latest piece for @theguardian.com looks at changes in mental health amongst people who moved home in #Bradford.

Dr Waishan Qiu will share his extensive work on #ComputerVision and #UrbanImagery to analyse #HumanBehaviour in public space. #UrbanAnalytics #SSLS

New paper with Luisa Amann out on #UrbanHeatIsland effects in Greater London!

We show young children, ethnic minorities & low-income groups face up to 4°C higher temps—and developed a street-level heat impact metric + guidance to support targeted planning interventions🌡️🌍🌳

Join us online tomorrow (27.02 at 16:00 GMT) for the Space Syntax Lab Seminar. Register at: bit.ly/SSLSeminars_...

Francesca Froy will introduce her new book 'Rebuilding Urban Complexity: A Configurational Approach to Postindustrial Cities', linking #UrbanComplexity to #SpaceSyntax. #SSLS

If you—or someone you know—are eager to explore #SpaceSyntax in practice or research, consider the MSc in Space Syntax: Architecture and Cities at #UCL. Gain practical skills and insights into how spatial design shapes human behavior.
