Exploring Hidden City Patterns with Urban Walks and Citizen Science Data

In this work we explore the possibility to combine various perspectives of visualization and analysis of city data using concrete examples of the data from human trajectories and urban trees. This allows us to consider the city from the points of view of an urbanist, complex system scientist and a city anthropologist. It also allows to broaden the anthropocentric perspective, incorporating into the city map not just roads and city buildings, but also urban trees. We create a framework to create cartographic images of a cityscape, which is interlinked with trees in these cities. We also introduce a hybrid (quantitative and visual) framework to characterize human paths in cities developing a new green walk measure, which then allows us to extend the framework for urban multilayer information.
