Maps, roads, and skylines don’t tell the whole story of our cities. Invisible barriers + hidden connections shape urban life in ways we rarely see. I’ll dig into this at my ACM SIGSPATIAL keynote “Cities Beyond Maps.” See you all! 🚶♂️🏙🏢

#NetSci2025 is a wrap—huge thanks to the organizers for a fantastic edition! So much energy around Network Science and its many applications. Great to reconnect with colleagues and make new (and hiMgher-order!) connections. See you all next year in Boston!

📣 New paper in Nature Human Behavior @natureportfolio.bsky.social! Using large-scale mobility data, we find how businesses, amenities, and other urban places depend on each other. It reveals connections that aren’t always visible but have substantial economic impacts.

In any case, here is the "excess degree" distribution of the (semi-)official data, which looks similar to @manlius.bsky.social result using the subsampling. Could it be that the sampling is biased towards people who are followed more?

New work! Places, businesses, and amenities depend on each other. Using massive human mobility data, we unravel that behavioral-based network of dependencies, important for resilient planning, policy-making, and urban design.
