Our work on 'The Hidden Burden of Morphological Deprivation in Small and Medium Cities' was highlighted by our collaborators at Human Planet Forum 2025 held at Ispra, Italy, on 19-20 Nov 2025. First by Dana R Thomson and then by Monika Kuffer.
New preprint from DEPRIMAP - The Hidden Burden of Morphological Deprivation in Small and Medium Cities. Global monitoring of urban deprivation often centres on megacities - the giants of urbanization. But does this capture the full reality? By leveraging machine learning and the City Segments v1 dataset to analyse 5000+ cities across 100+ countries, we uncovered a critical piece of the puzzle that often goes unnoticed.
DEPRIMAP is a research funded by FORMAS (Swedish Research Council, application 2023-01210) involving KAU (Karlstad University, Sweden)
