Brief Introduction
With increasingly developed urban data and technology, scientific knowledge about the current cities is now becoming far more frequent and complex than ever before. Understanding such cities as dynamic behavioural geometries is an essential step for sensing, modelling, visualising, and designing the urban future. To achieve this, the development of new theories, methods, and laws that the newly emerging data, technology, and science enable is a necessity as well as a challenge. This lecture will introduce our recent investigations in behavioural geometry computation and relevant laws mining to address various urban complexity, and it will also deliver the approaches to inventing future cities with underlying laws with augmented effectiveness, precision and scientificalness.
