New framework analyzes urban land use patterns using unsupervised learning

Researchers have developed a new framework for analyzing urban land use patterns using unsupervised learning techniques. By applying Ward clustering and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP) to Urban Atlas 2018 data from 100 European cities, they identified seven distinct land-use configurations. The study highlights the framework's ability to support peer-city comparisons while acknowledging its limitations regarding scale and boundaries. AI
