Huang, C., Liu, X., Zhang, S. et al. A universal scaling law of intra-urban inequality. Nat Commun
Objective:
- Analyse over 11,000 global urban centers using multisource satellite data to quantify inequalities in thermal exposure, green space and economic activity
Case:
- Global cities
Methodology:
- Gini
- Scaling law
Data Source
- NDVI
- UCDB
- Nightlight
Findings:
- A doubling of city population is associated with an approximately 8-9% higher inequality
- Green space and economic inequalities exhibit steeper scaling in low-income nations
