Professor Steven Farber (University of Toronto) will present a talk in the CURA seminar series. This will be 3:30 – 5pm, Derby 1080.

TOPIC:

A Time Geographical Measurement of Segregation using Meso-Scale Commuter Flow Matrices

 
Daily travel patterns can give social insight into accessibility, inequality, and health risks. But, in the absence of spatially representative surveys across cities, the ability to perform comparative research with time geography is limited. My work in this area has demonstrated that commuter flow matrices represent a middle ground between aggregate zone-based measures, and detailed individual-level measures.
 
This talk puts forward a handful of examples, with particular emphasis on a new approach for measuring segregation and exposure that treats both the source and target populations as spatio-temporally dynamic entities. Initial simulations and empirical results will be provided to assess their potential for creating an improved understanding of the ties between urban spatial structure and social segregation.
