n=33 studies using GEMA: real-time, location-aware data collection to capture place

Location of high streets by epoch across Great Britain, with detailed views of Greater London. (A, E) 1840–1880 sky blue, (B, F) 1890–1910 bluish green, (C, G) 1920–1940 orange, (E, H) ≥1950 vermilion.

New paper in Cities! We introduce a method to date UK high streets and find that greater land-use diversity and local centrality is related to their longevity. Modest but meaningful links between form, function and persistence. Open access 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2025.106136

How does air pollution affect mental health? New study aimed to find out Research looked at records of 14,800 people in Bradford to see what happened after they moved to more polluted area
