About
I am a quantitative geographer whose research is focused on the relationship between form and function in cities. Using the tools and methods of GIS/geographic data science, I capture and model the physical form and infrastructure of the city, its urban networks and the flows of people, goods, and information they facilitate, and the use of the city as an area or volume for engaging in activities. By providing a window into how the dynamic state of the city impacts and is impacted by social, environmental, and economic processes, my work seeks to better inform policy and planning interventions and promote more sustainable urban outcomes. Research areas to date include spatial and spatio-temporal analyses of:
- Urban morphology and urban volumetrics
- Accessibility and travel behaviour
- 2D/3D/4D econometrics
- Health and wellbeing
- Geodemographics and demand modelling
- Urban policy and planning

King Street Transit Priority Corridor Travel Times
code
analysis
Robert Arku (PhD Student at the University of Toronto) and I are exploring the association between transit accessibility and real estate through an analysis of the King Street Transit Priority Corridor project in Toronto. As part of this, we are estimating the change in streetcar travel times along the corridor using a database of disaggregate streetcar travel times from the TTC and City of Toronto. To coincide with migrating my site over to a Quarto webpage, this seemed like a good topic through which to explore computational blog posts made using RStudio.
SSHRC Funding: Transit, Telework, and Housing Markets
research
To kick off the migration of this site to a new Quarto website/blog, I am pleased to announce that my project Transit, Telework, and Housing Markets: Investigating Locational Preferences for Transit-oriented Development in Pre- and Post-Pandemic Canadian Cities received funding from the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) in the last Insight Grant competition. This project is being undertaken with the help of co-Investigators Khandker Nurul Habib, Steven Farber, and Eric J. Miller. Here’s a bit of the project summary. More to come over the next two years!
