#datasets Our new dataset, Age-Stratified Population Estimation from the 2020 China Census by Township (ASPECT), offers age-specific population distribution at a 100-meter scale. Check out our paper in @ScientificData by @juyangnju, me and colleagues: nature.com/articles/s41597-0…
A recent paper by @jlrenne and me on socioeconomics of urban travel using the 2017 NHTS data. It's my great honor to be involved in the four-decade-long series. Link to open-access paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2023.1…
Socioeconomics of urban travel in the U.S.: Evidence from the 2017 NHTS. Another masterpiece by @jlrenne and @wangxize316. I have used it in my teaching. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Thanks, @USJ_online to share a non-technical summary of our study on the Urban Studies Blog. Link: urbanstudiesonline.com/resou…
New analysis by @wangxize316 and Tao Liu shows that residential crowding in #Beijing is associated with higher depression risks. Inequality in #LivingSpace among urban residents is not only a social justice issue but also has #health implications

Thank you for sharing our work! We found that longer commuting time🚗 is associated with worse mental health😫. Effects are larger for older commuters 👵👴, blue-collar workers👷, and motorcycle/moped riders🛵. Link to our open-access paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2022.1…
More evidence that long commutes are awful for mental health:
In Beijing "every 10 additional minutes of commute time is associated with 1.1% higher probability of depression...Commute-depression associations are stronger for older & blue-collar workers"
doi.org/10.1016/j.trd.2022.1…
We found that living in a cramped living space is associated w/ higher risk for depression - especially for women and those living w/ children. Feel free to checkout this open access paper via the link: doi.org/10.1177/004209802211…

With the help of @LACUrbanHealth, I have written a blog post for our recently paper in Transportation Research Part A. Hopefully this jargon-free blog post would be helpful to local policy makers and non-academics.
