DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nCities have been the study of scientific inquiry fo
 r over a century. Today\, a new formulation of urban science aims to descr
 ibe\, predict\, and explain cities through the tools of computer science\,
  statistical physics\, and geospatial data science. However\, it often suf
 fers from poor generalizability. This talk considers two paths to attenuat
 e this problem. First\, conducting urban science without samples can sides
 tep traditional induction challenges. Second\, localizing urban science to
  individual sites in collaboration with local partners can produce better-
 validated and more-actionable findings for evidence-informed planning prac
 tice. The talk concludes by considering how the academic community can fos
 ter better urban science through better theory-infused tools for planning 
 research and practice.\n\nBio\n\nGeoff Boeing is an Assistant Professor in
  the Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis\nat USC’s Sol Pri
 ce School of Public Policy and the Director of USC’s Urban Data Lab. He 
 is a\nNonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution. Previously\,
  he was an Assistant Professor\nof Urban Informatics and Planning at North
 eastern University. He received his Ph.D. in City and\nRegional Planning f
 rom the University of California\, Berkeley and completed a postdoc at\nBe
 rkeley’s Urban Analytics Lab.\nProfessor Boeing’s research revolves ar
 ound city planning\, urban form\, data science\, and urban\ninformatics. R
 ecent projects have focused on 1) the nature and character of urban street
  networks\naround the world\, and 2) how spatial technologies and their da
 ta shape housing markets and our\nunderstanding of affordability. His rece
 nt research has been published in journals across scientific\nand policy d
 isciplines\, including The Lancet Global Health\, the Journal of the Ameri
 can Planning\nAssociation\, Applied Network Science\, Geographical Analysi
 s\, Environment and Planning A and B\,\nFrontiers in Neurology\, and Urban
  Design International. He developed and maintains the OSMnx\nstreet networ
 k modeling software.\nProfessor Boeing has presented his research at the V
 enice Biennale of Architecture and in plenary\nand keynote addresses at th
 e AAG annual meeting and the Architect of the Future conference. His\nrese
 arch has been shortlisted by the Information Is Beautiful Awards and the N
 etSci Visualization\nAwards and covered by The Economist\, The Guardian\, 
 Forbes\, Slate\, The Washington Post\, The San\nFrancisco Chronicle\, The 
 Boston Globe\, The Los Angeles Times\, and many other media outlets. He ha
 s\nserved as a consultant for several planning\, policymaking\, and public
  health organizations.
