Foundation models applied to street view imagery for urban analytics
In a context where Foundation Models arise as a SOTA approach in AI, their suitability for Urban Analytics in general, and specifically through the use of Street View Imagery, remains unexplored. This research addresses this gap by exploring the potential ofMultimodal Foundation Models to derive urban-related information from Street View Imagery ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Exhaustive long‐term and large‐scale ice jam records are scarce in most cold river environments. Many discrete events occur in small, sparsely populated river systems and are poorly represented in open‐source databases. These observation biases are transferred to predictive models of ice jams and the collective understanding of their formation

Retrospective image analysis for long‐term demography using Google Earth imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We demonstrate that high‐resolution Google Earth imagery, combined with minimal field validation, enables retrospective tracking of individual invasive plants. The image shows one of the monitored individuals of Opuntia sp. in Greece. Our approach reveals long‐term demographic patterns, recruitment dynamics, and spatial expansion without continuous ...

Who Does Bogotá “Care” for? Care Blocks, Care Workers and the Sustainable Development Goals
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper critically examines Bogotá's District Care System within the framework of urban social sustainability and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Focusing on the Care Blocks (Manzanas del Cuidado), it employs a mixed‐methods approach—legal analysis, interviews, testimonies, surveys, and InfoCuidado data—to explore the paradox of a

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...
