• Abstract: This study addresses the challenge of urban safety in New York City by examining the relationship between the built environment and crime rates using machine learning and a comprehensive dataset of street view im- ages. We aim to identify how urban landscapes correlate with crime statistics, focusing on the characteristics of street views and their association with crime rates. The findings offer insights for urban planning and crime pre- vention, highlighting the potential of environmental de- sign in enhancing public safety.

  Recent advances in Robotics and Embodied AI make public urban spaces no longer exclusive to humans. Food delivery bots and electric wheelchairs have started sharing sidewalks with pedestrians, while diverse robot dogs and humanoids have recently emerged in the street. Ensuring the generalizability and safety of these forthcoming mobile machines is crucial when navigating through the bustling streets in urban spaces. We present MetaUrban, a compositional simulation platform for Embodied AI research in urban spaces.

  Urban transformations have profound societal impact on both individuals and communities at large. We propose an end-to-end change detection model to effectively capture physical alterations in the built environment at scale. Our approach has the potential to supplement existing dataset and serve as a fine-grained and accurate assessment of urban change.

  We build an urban region graph (URG) to model the urban area in a hierarchically structured way. Then, we design a novel contextual master-slave framework to effectively detect the urban village from the URG. The proposed framework can learn to balance the generality and specificity for UV detection in an urban area.

  The COVID-19 pandemic generated a considerable debate in relation to urban density. This is an old debate, originated in mid 19th century's England with the emergence of public health and urban planning disciplines. We describe urban form at individual building level and then aggregate information for official neighbourhoods.

  This work proposes a Spatial-Temporal Hypergraph Self-Supervised Learning framework to tackle the label scarcity issue in crime prediction. We propose the cross-region hypergraph structure learning to encode region-wise crime dependency under the entire urban space. We also design the dual-stage self-supervised learning paradigm, to not only jointly capture local- and global-level spatial-temporal crime patterns, but also supplement the sparse crime representation by augmenting region self-discrimination.

• Predicting the impact of urban change in pedestrian and road safety [0.0]
  Recent work has shown that Convolutional Neural Networks are able to accurately predict accident rates exploiting Street View imagery. We detail how to automatically predict the impact (increase or decrease) of urban interventions on accident incidence. Considering the transportation network substrates (sidewalk and road networks) and their demand, we integrate these results to a complex network framework.

After framing and presenting the method, we test it on two cities - Prague and Amsterdam.
