Urban Expansion and Riverbank Encroachment in the Sangam Confluence Zone, Prayagraj: A Geospatial Assessment

Rapid urban expansion is placing growing pressure on river corridors and floodplains across fast-developing cities. The Sangam confluence at Prayagraj is a particularly sensitive case: an ecologically fragile and culturally significant landscape where construction restrictions have been imposed by the Allahabad High Co...

Structural Equilibrium for Adaptive Interpretation of Urban Dynamic Systems Under Changing Urban Conditions

The operation and management of urban dynamic systems often rely on information, including holiday and event calendars, to anticipate deviations from routine demand. However, such calendars cannot capture irregularly announced holidays or undocumented physical disruptions and require continuous maintenance. This study...

Building-Scale GeoAI for Short-Horizon Urban Inundation Prediction Under Sparse Labels and Distribution Shift: A Multi-Event Evaluation of Predictive Capability Boundaries in Taipei

Urban inundation forecasting in high-density cities is complicated by sparse incident labels, nonstationary rainfall, and changing sensing systems. Using Taipei as a case study, we develop a building-scale GeoAI decision-support prototype that integrates 30,421 Level of Detail 1 (LOD1) building-centroid nodes, 41,636 g...

Small-data urban adaptation twin: sustainable heat-flood planning in data-scarce fragile cities

Data-scarce and fragile cities face compound heat and pluvial-flood risks but often lack the sensor-rich and cadastral systems assumed by conventional urban digital twins. This study presents the Urban Climate Triage Twin (UCTT), a lightweight, auditable decision-support workflow that converts public data into fiel...
