University of Melbourne's Master of Data Science students are enhancing urban data quality via the Urban Data Futures initiative. Their GenAI project employs AI to correct data inconsistencies, boosting reliability for urban research. Celebrate new talent advancing data precision for smarter cities!
The University of Queensland, led by Dr. Scott Lieske, explored bikeability using AURIN’s spatial data. Their Cycling Accessibility Index helps cities like Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane improve cycling infrastructure. Harmonised datasets were key to refining accessibility metrics. #AURIN
Researchers at UQ used machine learning to identify key factors improving bikeability: destination accessibility, air quality, bikeway separation & density.
AURIN supported this by providing consistent spatial datasets, enabling advanced analysis for better urban planning. #AURINimpact #NCRISimpact
Thank you to everyone who joined the PIA Urban Data Network Missing Maps Map Party! We collaborated to map vulnerable areas for humanitarian relief, enhancing GIS skills and supporting global disaster recovery efforts. It was wonderful to see a great turnout working together for meaningful change.
Dr. Antonia Settle and her research group at @monashuniversity.bsky.social accessed Domain data through AURIN to conduct vital research in this field.
