Summary
Research at the Urban Analytics Lab at the National University of Singapore
This talk will overview activities of the NUS Urban Analytics Lab, a multidisciplinary research group established by Dr Filip Biljecki, focusing on urban data analysis, geographic data science, and 3D city modelling. The Lab is leveraging on the increasing amount of geospatial data becoming available openly, by spearheading new research lines such as developing novel instruments to assess and support urban sustainability. For example, the group recently announced the first open registry of sustainable rooftops around the world, which will be presented in this talk.
