New pre-print out ! Work led by @eleandre.bsky.social, in collaboration with M. Napolitano and @ricgallotti.bsky.social. Using Foursquare data from Bologna, we find that the distribution of POIs follows a clear power-law pattern at the city scale. To explain this, we introduce a framework where ...

How do cities expand?
Using surface growth physics, we found a unique exponent governing their local geometry. Instead, their dynamics range from smooth diffusion to abrupt coalescence, with demographic pressure driving where each city lands on that spectrum.

Universal roughness and the dynamics of urban expansion
We present a new approach to quantify urban sprawl using tools from surface growth physics. Analyzing built-up area expansion in 19 cities (1985-2015), we uncover anisotropic growth with branch-like e...

Great to see @luzuzek.bsky.social present our work on the interaction between science and misinformation during COVID-19 yesterday at @netsciconf.bsky.social
Lucila stands in front of slides with two network visualizations of papers highlighting which papers are more often shared by scientists (left) and reliable users (right), with more reliable users/scientists displayed in yellow and less reliable/non-scientists in purple.
