- Abstract summary: By 2050 two thirds of the world population will reside in urban areas.
This growth is faster and more complex than the ability of cities to measure and plan for their sustainability.
To understand what makes a city inclusive for all, we define a methodology to identify and characterize spatial subdivisions.

- Abstract: Urban population grows constantly. By 2050 two thirds of the world population
will reside in urban areas. This growth is faster and more complex than the
ability of cities to measure and plan for their sustainability. To understand
what makes a city inclusive for all, we define a methodology to identify and
characterize spatial subdivisions: areas with over- and under-representation of
specific population groups, named hot and cold spots respectively. Using
aggregated mobile phone data, we apply this methodology to the city of
Barcelona to assess the mobility of three groups of people: women, elders, and
tourists. We find that, within the three groups, cold spots have a lower
diversity of amenities and services than hot spots. Also, cold spots of women
and tourists tend to have lower population income. These insights apply to the
floating population of Barcelona, thus augmenting the scope of how
inclusiveness can be analyzed in the city.

Networks [82.82866901799565]
We build a new set of multimodal remote sensing benchmark datasets (including hyperspectral, multispectral, SAR) for the study purpose of the cross-city semantic segmentation task.
Beyond the single city, we propose a high-resolution domain adaptation network, HighDAN, to promote the AI model's generalization ability from the multi-city environments.
HighDAN is capable of retaining the spatially topological structure of the studied urban scene well in a parallel high-to-low resolution fusion fashion.

The world's population is projected to grow an additional 2.5 billion by 2050, with all expected to live in urban areas.
This will increase the percentage of urban population from 55% today to 70% within three decades.
Unlike any other time in human history, the increasing levels of autonomy and machine intelligence are transforming cities to be no longer just human agglomerations but a fusion of humans, machines, and algorithms making collective decisions, thus complex socio-technical systems.
