"Big data have come to dominate how we rethink about economies and the applications of big data offer new areas of research and new insights into urban science. Geographers and economists point to the increasing heterogeneity of mobility, wellbeing and development within and between cities, and their importance of local and regional prosperity. This book provides useful evidence that has correspondingly directed attention to the interactions of places and people as the foci of urban management and planning policies."
Professor Tao Sun, Dean of Zhou Enlai School of Government, Nan Kai University, China
"New forms of data can enrich our understanding of cities. This book offers valuable insights into understanding the significant transformations taking place in Chinese cities through analytics of novel data sources. This is a helpful approach as traditional data sources in this context are relatively limited at the fine temporal and spatial scales needed to derive such understanding. The lessons learned with big data provides crucial understanding of what drives the dynamics of urban development, activity patterns, human mobility and wellbeing."
