I use computational methods to quantify & analyse the built environment and its use. Currently focused on the intersections of the #BuiltEnvironment with #Health and #WellBeing.

My research falls broadly into: #SpatialDataScience, #UrbanAnalytics, #SpaceSyntax, #UrbanMorphology, #UrbanPlanning, #Architecture, #Inequality, #PublicHealth

Our analysis allows for gaining critical insights into the environment of the population of cities through mappings and by creating a #SyntheticPerson. One such insight in Bradford was that the average person lives closer to a fast-food outlet than a public park or garden.

We defined different types of #SpatialRelationships through and at which an individual can be exposed to the #Environment and features of the #BuiltEnvironment. We capture the likely used environment, both static and dynamic.

Image shows: Different methods quantifying environmental exposure at varying spatial relationships: at (a) an address; (b) an address street; (c) an urban block containing the address; from an address to: (d) an environmental feature; (e) all environmental features; (f) environmental features within a catchment area; a buffer around (g) an address; (h) a route from an address to an urban feature; (i) a catchment area from an address.
