Really enjoyed my time @dagstuhl this week, thinking about (and hacking on) new ideas in spatial causal inference. Thanks @dinomirMT and @Yanan_Xin for organizing, and am looking forward to all the new things that’ll follow!
in tribute to the late Art Getis, a spatial analysis (and SDSU) legend: a look at two decades of agglomeration economies in U.S. metro areas via network analysis, local spatial statistics, & computational geometry. All open source :)

so, an opinionated take: 'Urban Analysis and Spatial Science' will be available from CRC Press in early 2025 :)
the digital version (still in draft) is at knaaptime.com/urban_analysis…
comments, criticism, and feedback welcome.
Nice article led by Clementine Cottineau in current issue of Urban Studies: “The role of analytical models and their circulation in urban studies and policy”, open access, get it here journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.… fascinating history of how ideas emerge and evolve
