🚨 Academic alert 🚨

We have a new open access paper out! As part of our quest to simplify road networks, Ana from @nerdsitu and I have been looking at the spaces they enclose, trying to find artifacts caused by transport-driven geometry. It turns out to be quite simple! 1/4 Image The ratio of size and shape of these polygons results in a unique distribution that allows us to (more or less) filter out the artifacts from regular blocks. 2/4 Image

We have a new #openaccess paper at @GeogAnalysis 🎉, fresh from the oven. It is called "Evolution of Urban Patterns: Urban Morphology as an Open Reproducible Data Science" and it is available online for anyone onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…. Thread time! 🧵 1/n @GeogAnalysis We (myself, @alefeliciotti and Will Kerr) have looked at opportunities current developments in geographic data science within the Python ecosystem offer to urban morphology. And how all that links to open science, reproducibility and such. 2/n
