报告摘要：

Big data has emerged as one of the most actively researched topics in science and humanities in recent years. As type of data reflecting urban dynamics, big data has rapidly gained in popularity and shown promising potential for various applications including urban management and environmental monitoring. In particular, the increasing availability of satellite imagery, social media data and mobile phone records has generated tremendous opportunities for enriching urban application data sources, thereby fueling the development of geographical information systems (GIS). In this presentation, I will give a brief introduction of big data. Subsequently, I will discuss our recent work on using big data to detect urban structure and urban vibrancy, monitor urban environment, and estimate population-weighted air pollution exposure. Gathering the information of human movement dynamics, we hope to gain more insights into the human behavior in relation to space and time, thus facilitating the development of more informed spatial plans and designs.
