• Abstract: Data-driven approaches have emerged as a popular tool for addressing challenges in urban computing. However, current research efforts have primarily focused on limited data sources, which fail to capture the complexity of urban data arising from multiple entities and their interconnections. Therefore, a comprehensive and multifaceted dataset is required to enable more extensive studies in urban computing. In this paper, we present CityNet, a multi-modal urban dataset that incorporates various data, including taxi trajectory, traffic speed, point of interest (POI), road network, wind, rain, temperature, and more, from seven cities. We categorize this comprehensive data into three streams: mobility data, geographical data, and meteorological data. We begin by detailing the generation process and basic properties of CityNet. Additionally, we conduct extensive data mining and machine learning experiments, including spatio-temporal predictions, transfer learning, and reinforcement learning, to facilitate the use of CityNet. Our experimental results provide benchmarks for various tasks and methods, and also reveal internal correlations among cities and tasks within CityNet that can be leveraged to improve spatiotemporal forecasting performance. Based on our benchmarking results and the correlations uncovered, we believe that CityNet can significantly contribute to the field of urban computing by enabling research on advanced topics.

  The complex nature of urban issues and the overwhelming amount of available data have posed significant challenges in translating these efforts into actionable insights. When analyzing a feature of interest, an urban expert must transform, integrate, and visualize different thematic (e.g., sunlight access, demographic) and physical (e.g., buildings, street networks) data layers. This makes the entire visual data exploration and system implementation difficult for programmers and also sets a high entry barrier for urban experts outside of computer science.
