The UBDC is pleased to announce a seminar from Alex Singleton, Professor at University of Liverpool and Deputy Director/Co-Investigator of the Consumer Data Research Centre on Human Dynamics and Urban Structure.

Please note: Due to limited places, registration is required.

Abstract

Developing models of urban structure and human dynamics has a long history within geography and planning. In their contemporary form, geodemographic classifications represent complexity as a typology of salient characteristics, drawing measures relating to attributes and behaviours of population alongside urban morphology and context . This seminar will explore a series of advances in geodemographic methods and their application to issues of social concern.
