370 Jay St

The Center for Urban Science + Progress (CUSP) at NYU Tandon welcomes you to attend a lecture by <a href="https://geoffboeing.com/" title="https://geoffboeing.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Geoff Boeing</a>, assistant professor at the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, as part of the Fall 2024 CUSP Research Seminar Series. This event will be held in The Garage (Room 103) at 370 Jay St. Lecture Title Generalizing and Localizing the Science of Urban Networks About the Lecture Cities have been the study of scientific inquiry for over a century. Today, urban science aims to describe, predict, and explain cities through the tools of computer science, statistical physics, and geospatial data science. This talk considers two paths to improve its scientific generalizability and local usefulness, focusing on examples of urban network analysis. First, conducting urban science without samples can sidestep traditional induction challenges. Second, localizing urban science to individual sites in collaboration with local partners can produce better-validated and more-actionable findings for evidence-informed planning practice. The talk concludes by considering how the academic community can foster better urban science through better theory-infused tools for planning research and practice.
