Understanding urban resilience through behavioural mobility data

Two thirds of the world's population will live in cities by 2050. The economic and social progress of our urban areas, our institutions and our work depends on the diversity and resilience of the social fabric in cities. Despite their importance, several major forces erode the diversity and strength of those social connections: from income or racial segregation to differences in education and work access. In this talk I will present our recent work to understand the fragility of the network of social connections in cities through the analysis of behavioural mobility data and its impact in experienced segregation.
