Synopsis of Research in Shanghai (July 8 - July 26) :
Professor Siwei Cheng’s research project, "Inequality and Connectedness," combines daily mobility data collected via mobile device and the American Community Survey to create comprehensive measures of activity space segregation across geographic areas in the United States. The project extends conventional measures of spatial segregation to incorporate exposure in individuals' routine activities, weighted by the flows of individuals between census block groups. At NYU Shanghai, several scholars and research teams are collecting similar data to understand communities in urban China. Professor Cheng looks forward to the opportunity to connect with these scholars and engage in a broader conversation about inequality and connectedness in the global context.
