Geographical Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Traditional measures of urban accessibility often rely on static models or survey data. However, location information from mobile networks enables large‐scale, dynamic analyses of how people navigate cities. In this study, we employ eXtended Detail Records (XDRs) from mobile phone activity to analyze commuting patterns and accessibility ...

The Cartographic Journal, 2006 or Real An important characteristic of maps is the fact that they represent selections from reality in an abstract way. Especially for presentation purposes, maps that look ‘empty’ might even work better than maps with an overloaded view. In an exploratory mode, an overloaded map could be very representative for the topic being studied, and via ...
