The Urban Systems Engineering Lab (USE-Lab) aims to develop a people-centric, quantitative, and predictive understanding of the bottom-up organization of cities and use these insights to improve the efficiency of urban infrastructures. To that end, we apply and further develop computational tools from Urban Analytics, AI, and Complexity Science.
