Urbanization impacts on flood risks based on urban growth data and coupled flood models
Natural Hazards, 2021 Urbanization increases regional impervious surface area, which generally reduces hydrologic response time and therefore increases flood risk. The objective of this work is to investigate the sensitivities of urban flooding to urban land growth through ...

Housing growth: impacts on density, space consumption and urban morphology
Buildings & Cities, 2021 How and why do houses densify over time? What is the impact of that growth and what kind of constraints affect their potential to change? This research explores built form change and densification, providing historical evidence from the incremental ...

Emergence of urban growth patterns from human mobility behavior
Nature Computational Science, 2021 Cities grow in a bottom-up manner, leading to fractal-like urban morphologies characterized by scaling laws. The correlated percolation model has succeeded in modeling urban geometries by imposing strong spatial correlations; however, the origin of the ...
