• Authors: Lavinia Rossi Mori, Vittorio Loreto and Riccardo Di Clemente
• Abstract summary: We propose a three-dimensional space to analyze social mixing, which is embedded in the temporal dynamics of urban activities. While residential areas fail to encourage social mixing in the nighttime, the working hours foster inclusion, with the city center showing a heightened level of interaction. leisure areas emerge as potential facilitators for social interactions, depending on urban features such as public transport and a variety of Points Of Interest.

• Abstract: Traditional approaches to urban income segregation focus on static residential patterns, often failing to capture the dynamic nature of social mixing at the neighborhood level. Leveraging high-resolution location-based data from mobile phones, we capture the interplay of three different income groups (high, medium, low) based on their daily routines. We propose a three-dimensional space to analyze social mixing, which is embedded in the temporal dynamics of urban activities. This framework offers a more detailed perspective on social interactions, closely linked to the geographical features of each neighborhood. While residential areas fail to encourage social mixing in the nighttime, the working hours foster inclusion, with the city center showing a heightened level of interaction. As evening sets in, leisure areas emerge as potential facilitators for social interactions, depending on urban features such as public transport and a variety of Points Of Interest. These characteristics significantly modulate the magnitude and type of social stratification involved in social mixing, also underscoring the significance of urban design in either bridging or widening socio-economic divides.

  Our study introduces a graph-based physics-aware deep learning framework, illuminating the intricate overlapping nature inherent in urban communities. Through analysis of individual mobile phone positioning data at Twin Cities metro area (TCMA) in Minnesota, USA, our findings reveal that 95.7 % of urban functional complexity stems from the overlapping structure of communities during weekdays.

• Neural Embeddings of Urban Big Data Reveal Emergent Structures in Cities [7.148078723492643]
  We propose using a neural embedding model-graph neural network (GNN)- that leverages the heterogeneous features of urban areas. Using large-scale high-resolution mobility data sets from millions of aggregated and anonymized mobile phone users in 16 metropolitan counties in the United States, we demonstrate that our embeddings encode complex relationships among features related to urban components. We show that embeddings generated by a model trained on a different county can capture 50% to 60% of the emergent spatial structure in another county.
