Resilience of urban socioeconomic networks to behavioral changes
Urban economic resilience hinges on understanding how shocks propagate across local businesses and amenities during pandemics, disasters, and technological shifts. While disruptions in supply chains have been extensively studied, it is imperative to recognize that human behavior changes may also amplify shocks to businesses and amenities that are connected via mobility and lifestyle patterns. In this talk, I will present our data-driven spatial network models to predict the cascades of shocks across cities, and further discuss applications to optimize civil infrastructure systems to achieve urban resilience. I will also discuss my ongoing research on cross-city transfer learning approaches to prepare cities for unprecedented shocks.
