Can social capital remedy structural inequality? Economic mobility in a longitudinal population-scale social network
The promise of equal opportunity is a cornerstone of modern societies, yet upward economic mobility remains out of reach for many. Using a decade of population-scale social network data from the Nethe...

Highways originally built to connect actually separate people at short spatial scales. We quantify this effect for the first time ever using urban social networks of the top 50 metropolitan areas of the US. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

🎉 New publication in PNAS: Urban highways are barriers to social ties
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
We illustrate from numerous aspects that highways are physical barriers that cut opportunities for social connections—in the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the US.

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS!
The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities.

Highways are barriers that cut opportunities for social ties. We quantify this effect by overlaying the US highway network with millions of social ties from Twitter.
