Join us for a thought-provoking webinar where three leading scholars will show how images—from satellites to street-level views—are transforming the way we understand and design cities.

Marcel Moran (San José State University) studies transportation systems through imagery, open data, and fieldwork, with research that has directly influenced policy in San Francisco and New York City.

Ayda Kianmehr (San José State University) focuses on climate resilience, using microclimate modeling and machine learning to uncover how tree canopies, extreme heat, and community vulnerabilities intersect.

Maryam Hosseini (UC Berkeley) develops open-source, computer vision tools that help planners improve walkability, accessibility, and equity—addressing challenges from disability access to climate adaptation.

Attendees will discover how innovative image-based methods are driving new insights into transportation, environmental health, and social equity. This webinar will highlight real-world case studies and demonstrate how visual data can become a powerful tool for building healthier, more resilient, and more inclusive communities. Whether you’re a student, planner, policymaker, or community advocate, this event offers fresh perspectives on how images can help shape the future of our cities.
