See how images are shaping the future of our cities.
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.

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 oers fresh perspectives on how images can help shape the future of our cities.

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