My research explores how to develop a comprehensive, granular, and large-scale atlas of urban change capturing their associated attributes such as social-demographics, building and infrastructure status, energy usage and human mobility, and with the focus on making cities more resilient and sustainable. The atlas will overlap with racial and socioeconomic characteristics from the census to help us understand which areas are most vulnerable to gentrification and which areas experience the most displacement, it will also identify areas that need attention for sustainability goals, the prediction from the atlas will be served as an early warning system for vulnerability.
