Super news! Honored to win the annual Editors' Choice Award at the Cambridge Journal of Regions, Economy and Society for our paper "Who gets left behind by left behind places?" @cjres.bsky.social @casbsstanford.bsky.social @tkemeny.bsky.social

My PhD students Yilei Yu and Alex Cliff have defended their dissertations, producing outstanding research at the intersection of spatial data science and flooding! Thanks to committee members @sarameerow.bsky.social (co-advised Alex), Melanie Gall, and Aaron Flores. #PhD #SpatialDataScience

In addition to hosting 1996-97 CASBS fellow & Nobel Prize winner David Card on the CASBS podcast recently (we'll publish the episode in the fall), we took David to the study he occupied during his fellowship - now occupied by his podcast conversation partner, Dylan Connor 📷: @dyligent.bsky.social

A conversation with Nobel Prize-winning economist David Card for the Human Centered podcast. Coming later this year.. @casbsstanford.bsky.social

An important piece from the @apsrjournal.bsky.social (by @devorahmanekin.bsky.social and @tmitts.bsky.social) to make sense of ongoing events: it matters not only which tactics are adopted by protesters but also who they are.

The most important paper on democratic backsliding I've read this year

This Thursday (March 6) I'll be speaking at the Department of City & Regional Planning at Berkeley about 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 & 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀. Reach out if you'd like to attend.

Many flood-prone buildings are not currently under the purview of FEMA. These buildings are more likely to be deficient in physical condition, poorly constructed, and underinsured - meaning that their residents can face v high costs due to flooding. Read more Yilei Yu's first paper!

This study's title sounds like "US cities are bad because they foster inequality." But they find that the problem began in the mid-20th century, which happens to be when cities started planning for cars. So the problem isn't cities. The problem is cars. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

Some sweet coverage of recent findings by CASBS fellow @dyligent.bsky.social & collaborators showing that major metropolitan areas have ceased functioning as effective springboards for social & financial mobility since the mid-20th century thedebrief.org/satellite-da...

Where have all the Patricks gone? New #RTEBrainstorm podcast presented by @ellamcsweeney.bsky.social with @dyligent.bsky.social @arizonastateuni.bsky.social & @clodaghtait.bsky.social MIC Limerick - proudly supported by @researchireland.bsky.social www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Big cities once lifted generations out of poverty. Now, they entrench it. New research by @dyligent.bsky.social, @tkemeny.bsky.social et al. shows that since the mid-20th century, upward mobility has shifted to smaller towns. #Cities must reconnect growth with opportunity. doi.org/10.1093/pnas...

Combining remote sensing and administrative data, researchers reveal that since the mid-20th century, growing cities have ceased to be centers of upward social and economic mobility. In PNAS Nexus: academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar...

🚨 New Research: The American Dream is Dying in Big Cities Cities used to be ladders of opportunity for their residents. Not anymore. Our new paper shows smaller cities & towns now outperform major metros for kids born into poverty. academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/ar... 1/8

Early-life exposures in regions & communities produce disparities & influence intergenerational mobility, argues @dyligent.bsky.social. In his CASBS fellows seminar, he outlined an ambitious project that synthesizes knowledge & data to identify why, where & (historically) when places shape outcomes
