Time slot:
Jun 21, 2021 — 13:00-15:00
(UTC Change)
Description: This session will discuss ongoing bottom-up urban MFA research, including in methodology, case studies, and analysis, to facilitate collaboration and advancement in the field. The session will focus on:
- What questions can bottom-up models answer and where are the frontiers?
- What are the gaps in methods, data, and the research landscape?
- What are the trade-offs between detail and completeness?
- Where do we see potentials and largest benefit for collaborative efforts?
