Advancing Geohealth and Sustainable, Livable Cities Using Urban Informatics, Smart Data, Machine Learning, and Emerging Technologies II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 23956

Session Description:
The urbanization of national and global populations is associated with increasing challenges to creation of sustainable and livable built environments. There is a pressing need to better characterize the complex spatial distribution of socioeconomic, built, and environmental features of cityscapes and improve understanding of their relationship to health and quality of life. The synthesis of emerging technologies, smart data, machine learning and informatics gives unprecedented potential for progress in this area, in support of vibrant urban communities. Application of multidisciplinary approaches that include social, economic, physical, health, engineering, and information sciences may enrich this understanding and strengthen the process of transitioning to sustainability. This session welcomes research that explores the application of emerging technologies, machine learning, urban informatics, and multidisciplinary approaches to build understanding of the complex relationship between built environments, urban processes and human health, and supports evidence based decision making to create livable and sustainable cities.
